As companies expand internationally, they must improve their human resource capabilities to consider culture, local labor laws, and differing approaches to work as they hire employees in other countries. This article introduces several key concepts in global HR management and explains its significance for international businesses.
Training
Training is required for all employees to fully understand their job functions and company policies and procedures. While it is always important to maintain consistency with onboarding new employees, it is especially important when operating on a global scale. To ensure the same message is delivered to all employees, global HR managers should use the same onboarding process at every company location. Certain things may need to be considered, like whether or not a translator is needed. However, the more consistent the onboarding process is throughout the company, the more likely the company will be able to maintain and grow its brand. When inconsistent policies and procedures are presented throughout the company, their brand and reputation may suffer.
