Recent changes in Human Resource Management (HRM) are largely due to significant technological advancements over the past decade. The current level of global connectivity greatly influences the direction of HRM today. Economically, the primary drivers of these changes are the shortage of HR professionals and the lack of talent and skills. Businesses are increasingly seeking HRM expertise to boost their success in a competitive environment.
Consequently, HR roles have shifted from merely handling administrative and routine tasks, like training, to addressing talent gaps and leading business success. Technology and social media have played a pivotal role in this shift, expanding access to a global talent pool and enabling HR professionals to take on more strategic responsibilities.
