I am involved in the European aspects of a global reorganisation of a particular function within a US-based multinational. Negotiating those changes through the Works Council and Unions in Germany, France and Italy particularly would be utterly impossible without high quality support from HR. Even with such support, it's an immense challenge. I personally view HR as an indispensable function to the smooth operation of a business.
Even more critical to have HR in Netherlands and Scanda countries !
Virtually impossible to fire anyone unless it is a serious disciplinary offence.
