Hi!
HR developers roles in the future is most important in the new economy, wiining will spring from organisationsl capabilities such as speed, responsiveness, agility, learning capacity, employee competence and last but not the least knowledge management.
companies today face five critical business challenges viz., Globalization, profitability through growth, technology, intellectual capital and Change.
collectively, these challenges require organisations to build new capabilities. who is currently responsible for those capabilities?? That vaccume is HR's opportunity to play a leadership role in enabling organisations to meet the above mentioned competetive challenges.
new role of HR dddevelopers in future is :
1. becoming a partner in strategy execution
2. becoming an administrative expert
3. becoming an employee champion
4. becoming a change agent.
this fourth role is the most imp. one in future as the HR Dev. has, the the job of building the organisation's capacity to embrace and capitalize on CHANGE. As change agent, HR Developers do not themselves execute change but they would make sure that it is carried out.
hope this will helpful to some extent.
will add more later.....
with best regards
