CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Human Resources oversees an organization's biggest expense and most valuable asset: its staff. With HR involved in some of a company's biggest cost drivers, efficiencies in one area such as relocations or medical services can translate into significant savings.
