Challenges facing human resources management at this time.
According to Nel et al. (2011), there are two major challenges facing human
resources management at this time. Write an essay in which you address the
following issues:
1. The above authors suggest that the world of work is changing and that
this change is resulting in new employees in the 21st Century. Write an
essay to discuss the key reasons for these changes and debate the main
characteristics of employees and organisations of the future. Your
answer needs to contain reference to the different generations one will
encounter in the workplace and should provide an indication of possible
problems that may be experienced between these generation groups
2. In the constantly changing world, there are certain future directions that
are anticipated for the field of human resources management as a
profession. Write an essay where you discuss what Ulrich (1997)
regarded as the perceived future roles of HR managers in order to add
value to their organisations. Conclude your answer by briefly mentioning
which challenges may be the most crucial in the European context,
specifically where there is a discrepancy between North and South in
terms of employment.
