        my specialization is organization development or organizational culture-building.
        my interest in the law stems from the need to understand how the law can serve HR, make HR more effective, and use it to strengthen functions and services.
        in HR, i think it is imperative that the law must be used as a good boundary but not the sole measure of effectiveness in HR, thus HR must not be very legalistic.
        i also manage an outsourcing services company (aka manpower agency).
