Emerging Role of HRM in a Global Context

 



Introduction

The role of the HRM has traditionally been concerned with overseas management, however, today it is responsible for developing practices such as cross-cultural management, global policy, and performance management, benefits management, compensation planning, and international assignment professional management (MBA Knowledge Base, 2021). That politeness is more than a decisive source of competitive advantage. The competitive demands of the current market need to redirect the emphasis on strategic human resource management that focuses on building human capital and managing knowledge. Rather than focusing primarily on matching the chosen job skills Strategies. For example, it is similar to how companies engage in mass Customizing their product (Mark, 2003).


Role of HRM in a global context

Universal HR leaders are accountable for enlisting, preparation, skilled improvement, remunerations, & lawful obedience. According to (Bradley, 2019)the role of human resource managers in the process of integrating business operations and strategies through globalization, a wide range of cultures, products, and ideas. Having considered local issues, HR must now consider the impact of workforce diversity, legal constraints, and the interdependence between organization training and professional development. This international perspective should take into account migration, ethics, governance, corporate social responsibility, sustainability, change management, work-life balance, and diversity and inclusion. Of course, legal and regulatory requirements also vary from country to country. With globalization comes the challenge of cultural change. This can happen not only when an international business opens up in new areas, but also when employees go to different offices around the world and become foreigners (Samantha, 2021).

The Function of Global HRM



Figure -01 (SIPL TRAINING, 2022)

Global HR managers, like any other HR team, are responsible for recruiting, training, professional development, benefits, and legal compliance, but they do so on a global scale (Bradley, 2019).

·         Deployment & Enrollment Method

As rendered by (Bradley, 2019) Recruitment anywhere in the world, companies that recognize the value of their people hold a significant share of the human resource recruitment process. There is a good reason for this - having a strong team of employees can enhance a company's profile, help it achieve profitability, and maintain it effectively and efficiently.

 

·         Job Training

The traditional analysis predicts that workers will pay part of their job training costs by accepting a lower starting wage and then return this investment as higher wage growth. Disappearance from the traditional therapies of workplace training is a discussion of the process by which heterogeneous workers adapt to jobs that require a variety of training (John M Barron, 2022).

 

·         Continuous expert expansion

Continuous career development, or CPD, is the continuous process of developing, maintaining, and documenting your professional skills. The continuous career development cycle (see figure) shows that professional development is considered a series of circular activities as well as much other learning. Designing this process goes from identifying your developmental needs to doing your learning activities, reflecting on your learning, then applying it and sharing it with others (SkillsYouNeed, 2021-2022).

·         Benefits and Reparation

Non-traditional benefits such as flexible working hours, maternity leave, extended vacation time, and telecommunications are ways to encourage existing employees and attract and retain new skilled workers. Balancing compensation and benefits for the organization's workforce is an important human resource task because it requires sensitivity to the needs and wants of a diverse group of people (Bradley, 2019).

 

·         Safeguarding Legal Obedience

Legal compliance means compliance with legal regulations and legal and regulatory requirements in all areas of the Company. Its purpose is to ensure that the conduct and actions of the Company or its representatives comply with applicable standards of law and ethics. This also applies to affiliates abroad, which must comply with the environmental law of their location (Law Firm in Barcelona, 2021)

  1. Also the members of the HRM department are responsible for providing the necessary tools, knowledge, administrative services, coaching and training, talent management, legal and management advice for the rest of the organization in order to successfully operate and they act as constant mentors and members of the team of employees that address employee engagement activities, events involving the families of employees, and philanthropic giving and Long & Ismail (2010) examined the various role of HR such as strategic partner, change agent, administrative expert and employee champion. This study also examined the potential barriers that hinder the HR professional from bring a strategic partner in an organization.

  3. Globalization means integrating business operations and strategies over the different cultures, ideas, legal frameworks and needs. HRM has to play vital role to manage different diversities. Specially in IHRM, managers are responsible for recruiting new employees, training and development, benefits and compensations and complying with legal framework related to international assignments.(Bradley, 2019)

  4. Human resource management (HRM), the management of work and people towards desired ends, is a fundamental activity in any organization in which human beings are employed. It is not something whose existence needs to be elaborately justified: HRM is an inevitable consequence of starting and growing an organization.

    (Boxall,Purcel & Wright,2008).

  5. In a world where employees can work for international organizations all over the world, there is a need for human resource management (HRM) practices that are considered in a global context. Migration, ethics, governance, corporate social responsibility, sustainability, change management, work-life balance, and diversity and inclusion must all be considered from an international perspective. Of course, legal and regulatory requirements will differ from one country to the next. Globalization brings with it the challenge of cultural difference. This can occur when an international company expands into new markets, but it can also occur when employees relocate to different offices around the world and become expatriates. The blogger has stated clearly the role of HRM in the global context, functions, and so on. Excellent work.

  6. Hi
    With digital transformations taking place across large, international organizations, HRM must have access to reliable digital file storage but also must have good internet connection wherever they are located in the world. In some ways, this is more efficient, as physical files no longer need to be stored securely. However, there is then the requirement for cyber security to ensure sensitive information is not hacked and stolen. Creating international HRM systems that are coordinated across countries and across various software platforms also raises security issues regarding who has access to them.
