That’s a tough one, I think first you have to be critical and be a business partner to establish the rapport and work on projects or task that make life easier and simplistic for peers. HR is difficult because other department normally, but not always do not accept what we do until they actually need us to dig them out. Best way is to be direct about what you do and let them know firmly you are going to get it done.
