I'm not sure where you disagree? We seem to be aligned?

As for HR, of course they work for management. So does everyone. Believe it or not, there are a few of us enlightened HR execs who understand that people are the real competitive advantage for our business and that our employee value proposition, when executed properly, creates an environment that attracts, inspires, and retains great talent. Treat people how you want them to treat your customers and the world is your oyster. I wouldn't work for a company that doesn't embrace this value.
