This book was released on with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reality indicates that what is happening in the contemporary world, from changes and transformations, has found its way to influence classical business management concepts, which have produced modern ideas, philosophies, and innovative and advanced management models that are compatible with the rhythm of the era’s vocabulary. The influence of these modern concepts has extended to human resources management in various entities and organizations, business institutions and companies, to turn into a different philosophy and techniques that put the human factor at the top of its concerns and priorities and integrate its strategies and work programs into the strategic building of the entity or organization. Strategic planning is undoubtedly the path to success for any task. Whether at the level of individuals or groups or different entities, reaching the goal without planning is daydreaming, and failure to plan is tantamount to planning for loss. Therefore, the beginning of success in achieving goals is drawing the road, and this comes through proper planning based on study and not on reaction and randomness. Human resources management is the one that sets strategic plans and studies and analyzes them to make the right decision, then follows up on the implementation of the plan until reaching the drawn goals. If human resources management is prepared for that, success will be an ally of the strategic plan. Today the focus on people’s sustainability is gaining incredible momentum because people are one of the most important resources and are the way to implement strategies and plans to meet the needs of those who live on this planet. They are an effective tool for achieving what can be called sustainable profit. Without this sustainable profit, there is no future for any business.

Download or read book Managing Human Resources in Global Era Prospects Challenges written by Dr. Ravi Aluvala and published by Zenon Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intellect and creativity of people are at the heart of the knowledge-driven revolution with a growth of service sector knowledge intensive businesses. Within all sectors workers have to be more highly educated and more must be able to work with customers as part of their daily work as well as participate in teamwork. People today are also required to work flexibly across a range of job roles as organizations become flatter with fewer layers of management. As the pace of change quickens individuals will have more independence to manage themselves and their own activities with a growth of opportunities. These changing scenarios much impact the People Management in the context of globalization and will bestow ample issues, prospects and challenges which need to be explored. The practitioners, academicians and researchers need to meticulously review these aspects and acquaint them with knowledge to sustain in such scenarios. Thus, these changing scenarios emphasize the need of a broad-based research in the field of human resource management also reflecting in management education. This book is an attempt in that direction. I sincerely hope that this book will provide insights into the subject to faculty members, researchers and students from the management institutes, consultants, practicing managers from industry and government officers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Predictions are that sustainability becomes the next big topic for Human Resource Management after internationalization and globalization. This book gives new answers to these questions: - How can HRM contribute to attracting, developing and retaining highly qualified human resources over time? - How can a paradox perspective contribute to understanding and coping with paradoxical tensions? - How can sustainability be used as a ‘deliberate strategy’ for HRM? The conceptual part of the book looks at the notion of sustainability, opens it up for Strategic HRM and identifies blind spots in Strategic HRM theory. Paradox theory is introduced as an analytical framework for Sustainable HRM. Initial suggestions are made for sustainability strategies and for coping with paradoxes and tensions. The exploratory part examines how 50 European Multinationals communicate their understanding of sustainability and HRM and which HR issues and practices they are linking to the topic.

Download or read book Sustainable Human Resource Management written by Mariusz Sołtysik and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-22 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global trends favor balanced development, integrating socio-economic and environmental aspects. Sustainable development, emphasized by international organizations and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, has evolved into Industry 5.0. Unlike Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0 prioritizes social justice and sustainable development, focusing on human-centricity, ecological balance, and resilience. It advocates for circular processes, reduced waste, and lowered environmental impact. The transition to a green economy requires bottom-up efforts from eco-entrepreneurs. In the era of knowledge-based economies, enterprises emphasize sustainable development, including the transition to Sustainable Human Resource Management (SHRM). SHRM combines sustainability with a soft approach to human resources, fostering trust, teamwork, and employee commitment. However, literature on SHRM lacks a universally accepted definition. This monograph aims to bridge gaps through theoretical and empirical examinations of connections between sustainable HR practices and Industry 5.0, identifying competencies needed for effective implementation within this framework. The study contributes to the understanding of the evolving relationship between Industry 5.0 and sustainable HR practices, setting the stage for further research.
