The recent shift in HRM is driven by both social and economic factors. Globalization and competition have pushed companies to manage talent more strategically, while socially, employees now expect flexibility, development opportunities, and meaningful work. This has forced HR to move from an administrative role to a strategic one.
According to Deloitte’s case study, HR now plays a key role in global mobility, workforce planning, and leadership development. New functions include managing international assignments, using data for talent decisions, and aligning HR with business strategy. These changes show that modern HR is essential not just for support but for driving business growth and adaptability.
