Discussion 2:
Question:
Discuss how globalization has changed jobs in an organization where you have worked. What are some HR responses to those changes?
Globalisation has brought a very diverse effect in today's working scenario. There are organisations who take complete advantage of the globalised era where they can expand their markets and hire appropriate manpower to ensure that their product can achieve desired results. The globalisation has shown similar effect in my organisation. It had demanded for change in product module as well as the way of approaching the customers had changed. The organisation wanted to hire talented people who can cope up with the change in the culture easily. The HR had to ensure that the change in culture due to globalisation was met with the organisational needs. They had to hire candidates who have good knowledge about the product as well as the culture.
The HR manager, on the other hand, has an opportunity to influence events so that each company comes out ahead. the HR manager must preserve their own position! Before, during, and after the merger, HR may be responsible for assuring that cultural issues do not derail integration; for increasing innovation; for keeping communication going in all directions (upwards, downwards, across departments, across organizations).Mergers and acquisitions are often planned and executed based on perceived cost savings or market synergies; rarely are the “people” and cultural issues considered. Yet, it is the people who decide whether an acquisition or merger works.
Organization should focus on workforce management so that talent surplus will not exist.While managing the issue of talent surplus organization should be more careful regarding it's brand value but as per my view be clear.Organization workforce management team analysis that how we can adjust this surplus,try to adjust in some other units where can be adjusted.workforce management team need to identify total number of surplus employees and give all of them a notice to find a new jobs in coming 50 days.
Layoffs situation is very much critical for very organization ,layoffs is not easy its show the worst situation of organization.Managers need to retain only such employees whose have excellent track records with organization .Managers should confident towards survivors employees and provides the high motivational level traning so the they perform well.
