Discussion Post: Evolution of HR's Role

Over the last decade, the role of HR has evolved to include a variety of areas. These areas include, but are not limited to the following:

1) The value of having a diverse workforce,
2) Onshoring and outsourcing personnel management,
3) Repatriating employees from foreign assignments,
4) Ethical leadership methods and corporate culture,
5) Local and global security against terrorism, and
6) Upward career pathing to counter the possible perception of a glass ceiling.

For this discussion forum, you will take on the role of an HR professional who has been tasked with researching potential areas that have evolved over the past decade. You will create a business case to be delivered to the director of HR, justifying the value of an area of your choosing.

In your initial discussion forum post, draft a potential email presenting your business case to the director of HR. In this potential email,
