HR of the future: conclusions and observations
Article Abstract:
Human resource (HR) experts agree that their profession is coming under increasing scrutiny, that change is imperative, that change will entail challenges and that if faces the risk of obsolescence if it fails to meet these challenges. HR professionals also agree that the HR function is being transformed by such forces as the globalization of business, technological innovations and the emergence of the knowledge-based workforce. Their examination of the profession reveals a number of unknown dimensions of HR. These include HR's focus, future role, emerging practices, and governance. It may be concluded that the workforce and the workplace will change dramatically, that the HR function will be compelled to change by outside forces, and that it is at a turning point in its ability to manage change.
