I have observed the same thing.

I dont know if there is an equation, but it think it just comes from bloated HT department. There is only so much Facebook and Instagram browsing that HR folks can do in one day, eventually they have to do some form of work. This translates into policies, forced trainings, migration from an HR system to another, etc etc.

HR is usually the team most disconnected from the rest of the company. They don't know what the company sells/produces. They don't know what are the important projects/deadlines in flight. They just do their thing.
