How HRM evolves into a global context
The evolution of HRM into global HRM has been driven primarily by globalization, where companies expand beyond domestic borders and face new challenges. Initially, HRM focused on local recruitment, employee management, and training. As businesses started operating internationally, HRM evolved to manage global talent, expatriates, and culturally diverse workforces. It also adapts to different political, legal, and economic environments.
Key Features of Global HRM:
- Managing cultural diversity.
- Recruiting across global markets.
- Handling expatriates and their well-being.
- Navigating diverse labor laws and taxation.
- Managing a distributed knowledge base.
- Balancing internal (e.g cultural diversity) and external (e.g political, legal) challenges.
