...Student's name Instructor's name Course name Date Human Resource Management in Multinational Organizations A Preliminary Research on Self-Initiated Expatriation as Compared to Assigned Expatriation Human resource management in multinational organizations is complex due to the cross-cultural and international aspects related to its nature. This article examines the phenomenon of 'expatriation': choosing to leave one's own country in order to live or work in another, usually for a long period of time. Multinational organizations require a certain level of staff relocation in order to improve their knowledge of emerging markets as well as maximizing their talent resources. In addition to assigned expatriates, meaning those moving to another country following an assignment from their workplace, the article refers to "self-initiated expatriates, meaning people who choose to move to another country on their own. Human resource needs for both kinds of expatriates are unique, and may differ from each other. Self-initiated expatriates may exhibit more motivation to live in a different country and uproot their family for a long period of time, and this motivation may facilitate an easier transition, therefore being less demanding for the human resource management (Mo and Jian-Ming 170-172) Workplace flexibility and the changing nature of work: an introduction This paper examines articles referring to how the changes in the work environment require flexibility on behalf of...

This paper will identify three ways in which the internet could improve Redmond’s human resource management functions. It will also communicate how my ideas align with Robert’s principles for running his company. And, finally, this paper will evaluate how change, engagement and employee empowerment could have a positive impact of an organization including Redmond Minerals. In supporting the new strategy that Roberts implemented at Redmond, it would involve continuing to build on the foundation of the company that he put in place. In building on this concept, the company would need to continue value its employees, have a strategic goal in what direction the company would like to go and play an even more active role in the training of employees. In continuing to value employees there should be more outreach for programs that involve diversity and inclusion. In attracting more diverse employees, the company would continue to grow and have new ideas to aid in the process of growing. One example of this is in, Mining Excellence at Redmond Minerals, one employee thought that, “…schedules should go from a five day work week to four days based upon business needs.” (pg 53.)
