Human Resource management in global context

With the globalization, every small or big organizational started becoming globalized and started increasing their workforce in a cultural manner. That’s where Human resource management has to improve and practice up to global standards and try to be aligned with the international cultures. However comparing local and global human resource management, global Human resource management has to understand the awareness of the Ethnic culture differences, people, government needs, attitudes of human etc..

A company willing to globalize the organization and investing in abroad any form will be treated as a foreign organization by the government and the locals.

In comparison to local Human resource management, similarly, global Human resource management will work but with the international context by understanding the work culture, governments and local employees. it is politically very sensitive to work since Any wrongly made decision can cause the issue, therefore Human resource management has to be very well trained to face their cultural differences (Kramar & Syed, 2012).

It is easy to handle employees domestically than international. Because placing branches globally is not that easy to control multicultural employees. however, many companies use their strategies by appointing the head of branch someone from local to have more control over employees and Human resource management will control them from headquarters.

Recruiting procedures will be the same but higher managerial positions will be filled by their locals spread business in the market with locally experienced personnel.  Even it is very important to have locals for Human resource management to understand the legal issues and to avoid language barriers. Global human resource management will be a bit more expensive than the usual. it is a very critical and challenging part for global HRM to cope up with  (Kramar & Syed, 2012).

In other hands Human resource management will go through day to day challenging face of planning workforce, training/developing them, rewarding/ benefits, creating cultural teamwork place, design of work and mainly legal issue compliance with law and regulations related labour laws. Also, with VISA issuing/cancelling, trade licensing.

HRM Practices in Numerical flexibility Numerical flexibility is one of the common workforce flexibilities in any large firms to balance their production and services level. This workforce flexibility ensures that the labour supply of an organization on demand for products and services day, week and yearly are adjusted by the amount of labour they employee.
