Human resource management in practice
Introduction
In the Introduction to this book, Syed and Kramar emphasized the increasing globalization of the world of work and the capacity of events in one country to impact on others. International social and economic change and resultant changes in the international labour market pose particular challenges for the human resource management (HRM) function. The global financial crisis of 2008–09 was a good example of a situation in which the HRM function had to provide leadership in managing potential workforce reductions while still attracting and retaining critical talent in order to maintain businesses’ viability.
