HRM must forge relationships with line managers as well as win their support. Why must line managers resist letting HRM members become a part of the team? How would you establish the company and HRM function to ensure a maximum relationship? For instance would you decentralize HRM and have HRM managers reporting to line managers with a dotted line to the VP, HRM or consolidate HRM as a staff function reporting to the VP, HRM with allocated responsibilities to the line manager? What are the pros as well as cons of each type of organizational structure?
