Prior to the 1980s, the HR function was called Personnel. That's when females with PhD’s in the “Behavioral Sciences” took control of the function, renamed and neutered it.

I briefly worked in a clerical position in "Personnel" in the late '70s. Due to being a government contractor, the company had to undergo an EEOC Compliance Review every two years.

The reviewer was an angry black male who gigged us because not only did we not have enough black employees (although the small city we were based in had very few blacks), but also because we didn't have enough Hispanics and women in supervisory positions. These were the employees he picked to interview. Some of them, who were perfectly happy in their positions, were puzzled by his line of questioning. One said, "he's trying to make us disgruntled".

Additionally, he wanted the company to recruit blacks from a city 30 miles away, and provide bus transportation (this in Central Massachusetts with frequent winter snow and ice storms). My manager was kissing up to him, and making all kinds of wild promises. Disgusting.
