Based on the article, I recommend the polycentric approach as an adaptive HR strategy for multinational companies.
This approach emphasizes the localization of HR practices by empowering subsidiaries to manage their workforce according to local customs and regulations while maintaining alignment with the global company’s broader goals. It balances the need for standardization (like performance metrics or leadership development) with flexibility in local markets. This enables effective talent management across diverse cultural, legal, and economic environments while maintaining a cohesive corporate culture.
