Changing HRM role • Strategic Role as business partner - need for innovation and creativity • HR as Change Manager • Flexibility and Adaptation: Changing profiles / preferences of customers/ clients (employees) need to be taken into account in our practices –policy development • Communication channels should be open – given changing technologies / broad information base
New HRM role • Operational versus Advisory role • New business practices • Decentralization, outsourcing and strategic business partnerships/ alliances in product / service delivery; reducing costs in the supply value chain • Need to integrate IT and new technologies in HR practices • www offers opportunities for creating learning organization environment – research, marketing and sales activities etc
New HRM role • Focus on effective HRT & D – multi-skilling e.g. line managers with HRM skills while HR managers get business management skills • Need for broader understanding of environment and be equipped with change adaptability skills. • Think global but act local – best practice models that work for you • Be Proactive not reactive – re-engineer work processes to forecast what can be outsourced
Therefore …. Change is unstoppable, we have to live with it and recognize its advantages (opportunities) and learn to incorporate it in our management style. Globalization and liberalization has come to stay as borderless activities continue to grow. There is more rapid and widespread use of the growing technologies in day to day operations. A new view of HR role is clearly required. If people management is crucial to business success, then the HR function must undergo substantial changes.
