Shifting Paradigms In HRM

Today, organizations are downsizing, rightsizing, terminating, and outsourcing. Executives must be concerned with Risk Management, Marketing, Sales, Strategic Planning, Financial Planning, Operations Management, Merger and Acquisitions, takeovers, and Human Resources Management to name a few tasks.

Demands and practices once carried out by employers a few decades ago are no longer effective or relevant today. With outsourcing, diversity, multiculturalism, sexual harassment, productivity, performance and a myriad of other issues, employers must be constantly vigilant of changes made by government and legislature/laws that can impact their "BOTTOM LINE." Worst, many decisions made by uninformed employers can result in expensive lawsuits and court battles, especially in the United States. Courts are no longer lenient on employers!
