A study by research and consulting firm Bersin & Associates shows that as the economy improves, U.S. organizations have begun reinvesting in human resources services and staffing.
The report, "The HR Factbook 2011: Executive Summary," found that on average organizations spent $1,218 spent per employee, an increase of 1.4 percent from last year going toward HR programs, services and systems.
