Low administrative overhead. When I left my last employer earlier this year, HR had moved to monthly mandatory training sessions that were the kind of stuff that HR usually comes up with. They also added in a requirement for monthly written "check-ins" between every employee and their manager, accessible of course by HR. I talked to my manager several times a week, and sometime multiple times a day, so a monthly "check-in" was of no value to either of us but no one has the spine to stand up the HR departments anymore and many of them are running amuck with their greatest fantasies of how HR centric companies should be operated. With 30,000 employees, I can't imagine how much money and productivity is being spent on all of the HR imposed overhead.
