The "New HR" 

MMC is consistently evolving to provide the most innovative Human Resource Consulting Solutions within the industry. Our service solutions are catered to address one of the most demanding challenges organizations face today: the increasing complexity of HR issues that deter business owners from revenue generating activities.

This new paradigm in HR represents a delicate balance between human capital and risk management. Such challenges were discussed in Harvard Business Review’s July-August 2008 article, “Why Did We Ever Go into HR,”  written by two recent Harvard MBAs who opted to enter the HR field, a far cry from the prototypical banking or consulting paths many b-school grads often pursue. “Forward looking companies treat HR as an engine for both savings and revenue, deliberately blurring the lines between business activity and people development,” comments Matthew Breitfelder.

 Amassing the requisite factors to ensure for a strong HR team is no simple task. HR is being redefined as the direct connection between organizational productivity and risk mitigation. The need for specialized HR expertise is imperative, due to the litigious nature of employment law and regulatory compliance. Focused expertise is emerging in HR, much in the same manner that specialization exists in the medical and legal industries.
