Why Do We Focus So Much on the Future of HR Compared to Other Management Fields?

Respected Seniors and my dear colleagues,

I was going through an article on "Future of HR" in one of the journals, and just then a thought came into my mind that apart from HR, we primarily have three other streams of management: finance, marketing, and systems. We don't talk about "Future of Financial Management" or "Systems Management," but we always talk about "Future of HR" in the corporate world (I am not talking about only this specific website as this is meant for HR topics only).

I do not want to put this post as an argument; I am just curious to know why is it that so? :)

In this same post, we can also discuss the "future of HR" and the "emerging trends in HR."

I invite your views and comments on the same.

Thanks and Regards,
Indrani Chakraborty

Hi Indu,

I suppose because this is an HR forum, and basically, we all try to share things of our interest in HR, that's why we only talk about anything related to HR. I think you are right to point out that we need to discuss the emerging trends in HR. In the fast pace of competition and work, many things are emerging, and we can all share what we know in this forum.

Anuradha

Dear Indirani Chakraborty,

Ours is an HR forum where we share our knowledge and suggestions. Discussing problems from other areas such as marketing, finance, or systems may not be optimal. These issues may involve buyers or sellers, and we may not always have enough details to provide relevant suggestions or engage in discussions about those specific problems.

With regards,

Hi,

I guess I have not structured my thoughts properly. I am not referring to this particular website where we discuss HR issues; I am talking about the corporate world in general.

Thank you for your comments. Keep posting!

Dear All,

Corporations are always searching for better ways to produce goods and services. When new technological developments give some organizations a competitive advantage, their rivals try to catch up by adopting and improving on the new technologies. For this purpose, they have to rely on Human Resources. The future of HR is very bright and enlightened. HR is still a growing field with lots of new dimensions. You can clearly observe that most of the companies have started their HR departments now because they feel that without this, they can't survive at the corporate level.

These are my thoughts about the future of HR. I reckon the future is as bright as the sun.

Hassan

Hi all!

We talk about the future of HR because we are uncertain and lack clarity about the future of HR. Basically, we lack confidence about the future of HR. In fact, we are shaping up and consolidating our existence.

Whereas, Finance has existed since the birth of industrialization. They are not concerned about the future of finance, like whether it will exist or not. I guess the above is one of the reasons.

Views from others... What does Ms. Indrani herself feel?
