Future
Organisations continue to face complex performance drivers including globalisation, improving productivity, and innovation. These drivers have implications on people which subsequently has a major impact on the ability of organisations to be successful and sustainable entities.
When effective, human resource management can contribute greatly to a successful, sustainable organisation through the accomplishment of strategic objectives whilst also providing a positive workplace experience for people. The acknowledgement of the importance of a firm’s human capital is increasingly recognised through the sustained interest and focus, amongst national and international policy makers, and organisations on the importance of talent.
