Personnel management: the tone of tomorrow

Article Abstract:

Human resources practitioners must often handle personnel management issues which have already developed from problems into crises, since changes in the field are typically evolutionary in nature. Potential crises that are taking shape in the present can be minimized or avoided by personnel executives who take the time to observe the evolution of workplace issues. Effective use of personnel in the future will be tied to managers' ability to: acknowledge increasing diversity in the workforce, provide workers with the chance to take part in decision-making, design work that meets workers' personal growth needs, match job requirements and worker skills, and design and distribute work to better mesh with business environment changes. Recruitment and training efforts must be improved; compensation and benefit plans made more flexible; and health, safety, and union issues addressed.
