HR Policies And Industry Practices..this Is My Idea...

In recent times, there has been increased awareness that organisational knowledge

might be the key to organisation success. In most construction organisations such

knowledge is dispersed and fragmented, since much of it exists in diffuse social

networks. To prevent failure, knowledge management (KM) has to be properly

implemented in organisations. This invariably implies that construction organisations

must address the needs of workers who supply this knowledge if they are to

successfully exploit their skills. The extent to which organisations will be willing to

co-operate in this process would depend to a great extent on the nature of human

resource management (HRM) policies and practices. This paper, which is based on an

empirical investigation of the role of HRM in KM, analyses the problems related to

KM and the probable solutions through HRM. It argues that since knowledge is the

unique human capability of making meaning from information, employees should be

the focus of any KM initiatives. The consequences of poor HRM practices on KM

initiatives are discussed and some observations are made about the importance of a

‘no-blame’ culture and trust to effective KM within construction organisations.

Hi Raman,
The presentation on "future of HR" is really wonderful and includes good and practical advancement for HR but to make it possible, a lot of efforts and implementations needed.

Yes absolutely Cauvery, and a better thing to do would be is to prepare yourself for the future.
