...Human Resources Management Wisnu Danandi Haryanto (1106115001) Question: What do you think is the impact of a more boundary less world to people mobility? Is there such reality of global talent? The world has become a smaller place to live in. The population has increased to 7 billion and advancements in technology have made information and business easier for the people of the world. The internet has revolutionized how the world has become. Knowledge can be found at the tip of your finger and the world has become more accessible. Mobility of the population has increased dramatically in the past several years. The migration of people has become a more common activity. Travel between countries and territories have become the common norm of today’s society. Because the world has become boundary less, people are becoming more aware of various possibilities and opportunities which may be provided to them from around the world. Until several years ago, many global companies were facing a major threat in conducting their business. There was a very high demand for talented employees and a very low supply of such employees. These companies also faced the challenge of needing to reduce the costs of operations by moving operations abroad, paying lower wages and finding competent employees to staff the facilities. Companies were required to aggressively retain their current employees and also develop the talents of these workers. We must be able to recognize that the search for...

...affecting the workplace. All of these are having a huge impact on the HR profession. The c-level is finally starting to realize how important your role is. They want you to get out of the day-to-day administrivia - while still making sure everything is done perfectly, mind you. They want you to measurably contribute to the top-line and the bottom line, and help mitigate risk. There are ten major trends that you need to be aware of as your role evolves to meet these challenges. Let’s start with the most obvious. #1. The Changing Role of the HR Professional We need to put the “human” back into human resources. Employees are humans, not commodities, and HR departments have to start seeing them differently. With the current push towards strategies that engage employees, attract top talent, and contribute to the bottom line, this change is imperative. We need to stop whining about being at the table. These days, almost every book or article you read about the role of HR talks about HR needing to be ‘at the table’ or to be more strategic. It’s my observation that in almost every respected company, HR is at the table. So for most HR leaders, the question is not ‘how do you get to the table’. It is ‘now that you are at the table, how do you best contribute to the success of our organization?’. ‘How can you be taken seriously at the table?’ Clearly the first step is to make sure that the organization’s HR practices are effective. The practices should create competitive...
