One of the emerging trends in the HR industry is the growth of people centric organisations. With increasing competition, all firms have to keep the end consumer in mind and frame the policies accordingly. This implies that there is a lot of change in the role of HR personnel. Another trend is the introduction of six sigma models. Six sigma models employ rigorous analytical tools with employees from the top level involved in the process and it is aimed at creating sustainable development within the organisation. One of the notable trends in the field of HR is the outsourcing HR -related needs which leaves the HR dept. in the firm almost redundant.
