...Human Resource Planning ^ Brian J. Smith, John W. Boroski, and George E. Davis - INTRODUCTION Human Resource (HR) planning is the formal process of linking business strategy with human resource practices. Approaches to human resource planning can be arrayed along a continuum ranging from an "add-on" to business strategy to a separate planning process (Figure 1). At one end of the continuum, HR planning is little more than a postscript to a business planning process. After engaging in an extensive business planning process in which business product, market, and technological directions are defined, questions about HR practices are raised. These questions deal with the structure, competencies, accountabilities, organization, and leadership required to make the strategy work. At this end of the continuum, HR issues are an afterthought to business strategy. They receive relatively little attention and become an appendage to business planning. In the extreme, line managers consider the HR questions as an afterthought to "real" planning efforts. At the other end of the continuum, HR planning is a distinct and separate planning process. The HR department not only initiates the effort for HR planning, but executes and administers the plan. In this case the HR plan is more a process for shaping priorities for the HR function than for the business. In extreme cases, HR plans are created with little or no awareness or input by line managers. While the outcome may be an elegant document...

...Abdulrahman Redwan | 1316429 | A Global Perspective of Human Resources For Dr. Ali Alkahtani Human Resources: A Global Perspective Employee engagement and cultural issues have become the first challenge facing HR professionals around the world, according to the 2015 Global Human Capital Trends report, released by Deloitte. The report concludes, “Today’s HR challenges require a new playbook—one that helps make HR more agile, forward thinking and bolder in its solutions.” The report says today’s organizations are facing a new world of work that will require a reshaping of strategies for leadership and talent management. Because culture is the driving force in most organizations, engagement and retention strategies need to be responsive to these changes. However, more than half of survey respondents said their organizations have poor programs or no programs at all in place to gauge or bolster engagement levels. Other issues uncovered by the report include a global lack of leadership succession programs, with only 10 percent of respondents saying they have an “excellent” program in place, and the need for a complete makeover of most HR departments. Only 5 percent believe their organization's performance is excellent, with 22 percent saying their department is adapting to their workplace’s changing needs . What is happening in HR in 2011? Are we going to see a shift in the way that HR managers are recruiting employees to their organizations, or...

...Human Resource Management Strategy Executive summary Developing and implementing a soundly based strategy for human resource management is a specific area for improvement in the Federation of the Future’s section outlining the Framework for Action. The Federation Human Resources (HR) Strategy was approved in April 2005 and actions to deliver it commenced in June of that year. The support of Department for International Development (DfID) during the years 2007 and 2008 has been fundamental in facilitating the achievement of major elements of the strategy. For the years 2009 and 2010, whilst the key themes of the human resources strategy remain in place, the focus of action shifts to building on achievements to date to cement them into the regular operating practices of the Federation. This is particularly the case in the seven zone offices that sit at the heart of the new operating model. In the context of the 2008 to 2010 strategy, and like the years 2007 and 2008, additional financial resources will be required to support key strategic interventions that will enable the HR department to implement and then operationalise major changes that can be absorbed into the regular operating budget of the department. The Federation can only move forward on HR initiatives by building consensus amongst leaders and the HR community on priorities and approaches. Through a target audience of HR professionals in the Secretariat and National Societies, the programme above will facilitate better...

...THE CHALLENGES OF GLOBALIZATION AND THE ROLE OF HUMAN RESOURCES. Muhammad Aminu Bawa (1) Dr Juhary Ali (2) ABSTRACT The current financial crisis, which has engulfed East Asia since July 1997 and has subsequently spread to Russia and Brazil, is one of the most pressing challenges facing countries and businesses in today's global business environment. Globalization represents the structural making of the world characterized by the free flow of technology and human resources across national boundaries as well as the spread of Information Technology (IT) and mass media presenting an ever-changing and competitive business environment. Two major limitations are observed in the treatment of the twin issues of the responses to the East Asian economic crisis and the coverage of the literature on globalization. While the response to the crisis has focused on macroeconomic aspects, the issue of globalization has been addressed predominantly in and with respect to the developed economies of Western Europe, North America and Japan. This paper is an attempt to address these two limitations. Since the human factor is the key in the new era of globalization (Hassan, 1992; Sims & Sims, 1995), the primary objective of this paper is to present a conceptual framework for effective management of human resources as a response to the growing interaction of globalization and business performance. Three central arguments are made in this paper. (1) That a growing body of evidence converge...

The Globalisation put together the world as a Global village. The concept of global village resulted in exchange of cultures across the globe as a single country, producing the components in one country, assembling the products in second country, market the product in the third country, the banks in the fourth country to finance the operations, insurance companies in the fifth country to provide insurance facilities, all the countries provide human resources and so on so forth. Thus, the global businesses employ the people from various countries and manage the people of multi-cultures and multi-skills. Issues coming on the radar of an HR Manager today are diverse; from micro level issues where an individual employee needs hand holding to the macro issues pertaining to a global workforce and virtual teams.

...Global Talent Management Recent developments in management- and academic literature and application of the ING. Talent, from Greek talanton; Latin talenta; a unit of weight or money. Amsterdam Business School Course: Author: Date: Business Studies Seminar, Final Assignment (Paper) Bekir Gündelik #10481745 23-10-2013 1 Introduction The term “talent” dates back to the ancient world (from Greek talanton; Latin talenta) where it was used to denote a unit of weight or money (Talent, n.d.-a; Tansley, 2011). Subsequently, the meaning of talent underwent a considerable change, standing for an inclination, disposition, will, or desire by the 13th century (Talent, n.d.-a). In the 14th century, talent then adopted the meaning of a special natural ability or aptitude, which was probably based on figurative interpretations of the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30) (Talent, n.d.-a). The subtext of this parable conveys that talents—whether they are interpreted as monetary units or natural abilities—are valuable and should not be wasted, and this moral still applies today. This paper set out to identify current developments in global talent management and leadership and the current position of ING Bank (ING) as an employer and facilitator of global talent management programs and leadership programs. The next generation of global talent management practices and solutions will largely be driven by economic evolution, demographic changes, and technology advancements. These factors...
