If Procurement doesn't exist you have your widget makers and widget sellers doing procurement and they suck at it! Even if they didn't, it's a bad use of their time.
As with procurement, someone has to train, remain compliant to legal, insurance and contractual obligations, and pay employees everything they are owed.
It is a bad use of widget sellers and widget makers time to do it. In small businesses this is done as sweat equity by the owner operator.
Or they simply, and not rarely ignorantly, accept the risk of a business ending event. In larger corps you either in source it or outsource it, or maybe push it into your sub widget vendors but it's still got to be done.
obviously. but the analytic distinction matters for understanding how different social functions are distributed. otherwise, they remain opaque even to those who perform them.
thanks for deliberately misreading what I wrote. sexual harassment training is only necessary because sexual harassment exists. there is no reason for it to exist, so minimizing it is hardly a net win for the organization.
Not getting taken to the cleaners in lawsuits because they enabled rampant sexual harassment is generally pretty important to the long-term survival of a company.
