would be much like it is in another country . There are similarities in the human resource
function fr om one country to another however; due to cultural differences the human
resource function can also be quite different. W e must first define the Field of Human
Resource Management. According to Peter Dowling in International Human Resource
Management, “Human resource management is those activities undertaken by an
organization to utilize its human resources effectively .” These activities include but are
not limited to, human resource planning, staffing, performance management, training
and education, compensation and benefits, and labor relations.
“People are your most valuable asset”
Human resource professionals must stay informed and be involved in the
employee and workplace development process with quality training to ensure legal
compliance, performance management, and the implementation of effective personnel
policies.
Human resources managers face a myriad challenges with today in relation to
workforce. There are issues concerning the diverse workforce, legislation affecting the
workplace and technology matters that rise to the top of the list of challenges. Human
resources managers who encounter these challenges use their leadership skills and
expertise to avert issues that might arise fr om these challenges. The workplace setting is
changing because of technology . T elecommuting, telework and remote reporting
relationships are becoming the norm rather than an anomaly . Flexible work schedules
and arrangements are ways to impr ove productivity for some employees; however , these
types of technology-based changes for all employees. Human resources managers must
ensure ther e is a mutual agreement between the employer and employee for options that
include telecommuting. W orking fr om home--telecommuting or telework--r equires
motivation and discipline. Some employees lack these traits and would not be productive
workers if allowed to work fr om the comfort of home. The upshot to technological
advances for human resources managers is the type of human resources information
systems available to employers for a variety of purposes. Human resources departments
are able to track applicants and manage the recruitment process more effectively . In
addition, producing data and reports can be accomplished easily because of technology . Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : SURESH DHAKA, RUPESH SINGH , NIDHI SINGH AND KUL VINDER NANDA, (2012).
