How Are HR Managers Adapting to the Changing Business Environment? Let's Discuss

Dear Friends,

The current business environment is dramatically changing, and with it, the role of the HR manager, along with the competencies required by them to perform their job, are also changing. The HR manager needs to be very flexible, responsive, and capable of competing in the global market. They need to know the various facets of the changing business environment and then respond accordingly.

Let's discuss this issue as it will aid us in the long run when making selection decisions. I invite your valuable comments on the same.

Cheers,

Hi Cheenu,

To compete with global standards, HR professionals should transition from an operational level to a more strategic level. Strategic thinking and implementing innovative ideas will lead to more result-oriented outcomes.

Dear Vamsi,

Your view is completely relevant to the current scenario, but one thing that we should not forget as HR managers is that we need to be responsive and flexible to the changing environment. For example, firms are increasingly becoming dejobbed these days. The relevance of job analysis is reducing as it is becoming more and more difficult to write job descriptions for a particular job, and they are becoming more flexible.

So what is the HR manager's role in that regard? How can he overcome such barriers? What competencies can be expected from him?

Cheers,
Cheenu
