Global Human Resources Management
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.
Strategic Benefits
There are a number of strategic benefits to utilizing global HR managers. Consistency, structure, and control are three of these benefits. Having HR maintain consistency throughout the company helps to solidify a company's brand and operations. This also helps lay a strong foundation for the structure of the organization as a whole. If each location is created using a similar structure and alignment, it helps to ensure a company's goals and objectives are at the forefront of expansion. Global HR Managers are also able to maintain control of company operations. If every location's HR department acted independently, consistency and control would be a challenge to maintain. By having Global HR Managers to oversee the company in its entirety, the company is better able to maintain control of their international locations and overall company brand, policies, and procedures.
