3.  HR Model defines how key HR tasks will be delivered and which process and unit in HR will deliver them. HR Model defines the basic HR Roles and Responsibilities (externally to the organization and internally between employees and units).

4.  HR Model defines the style of operations of Human Resources.

5.  Each change of HR Agenda should begin with the change of the HR Model. It acts as a decision matrix to find the right place for new roles and responsibilities.

Why is HR Model important?
