From the Paper:

"Over the past several decades, the role of human resources management has changed. In some areas, this role has changed significantly. In many cases, factors external to the business itself, such as globalization, technology, the need to introduce diversity, the nature of Internet business, and changing business ethics have been responsible for these changes. This paper will be used to describe some of these changes. The Role and Visibility of Human Resources According to Ng (2005) today's human resource personnel are far different from their predecessors. Ng states that as recently as two decades ago, human resources personnel did not have an extremely visible role in their business culture. In contrast to the role of human resources today, at that time human resources personnel "worked behind the scenes to ensure personnel records were in order and employee benefits were being properly administered" (par. 3)."
