The human resource (HR) profession has been on a long and challenging journey. Globalisation and sweeping policy changes have re-defined and re-aligned HR and its role. It is important for HR professionals to develop and become innovators in their respective industries. The Changing Role of the Human Resource Profession in the Asia Pacific Region is based on case-studies of retail, tourism, healthcare, security, education, and energy, spread across the greater Asia Pacific (AP) region. The book rests on the principle of the laws of attraction, that 'thoughts become things' and argues that acknowledging good human resource policies and practices can be a key influence on all aspects of an organisation. After an introduction, five chapters cover key topics: six major industries; changing HR practices across the AP; an insider's view on best practices; the role of HR in sustaining growth across the AP; and a conclusion looking towards the future of HR in the Asian Pacific Region. - Based on real and contemporary case studies with a focus on six industries (Retail, Tourism, Healthcare, Security, Education and Energy) spread across the Greater AP region - Highlights industry specific key HR challenges and suggests ways forward - Records recent developments
Indian Community is one of the fastest growing communities in Australia. As on 2012, there were over 450, 000 people of Indian origin who call Australia home. India has also been identified as one of five key regional nations that are most important to Australia- with an ambitious plan laid to double two-way trade to USD 40 billion by 2015. But, there is still a way to go- many issues to be solved and many challenges to be overcome in facilitating such long-term, mutually-beneficial relationship and 'people matters' in making such relationship a success. Indians in Australia are spread wide-and-far across the country. With its varied ethnic composition, they are a diverse lot in themselves- with myriad of experiences, sentiments, beliefs, skills and backgrounds. Through this year-long research, we have tapped into the experiences of a variety of people of Indian origin living in Australia that include eminent scientists, social activists, medical professionals, policy makers, business men, academics and IT professionals while simultaneously gathering enormous amount of secondary data. Their range of responses from apprehension, to agony, to acclamation along with the factual data makes this report a repository of information and collection of sentiments.
With the advent of globalisation, organizations are impacted both economically and socially by global influences. They have to survive today in the midst of stiff competition, changing demand patterns, explosion in innovation, revolution in technology and constant changes, information revolution, rising level of education etc. The people dimension of the organization has posed corporate leaders with unforeseen challenges viz., managing cultural diversity, retaining talent in times of mobility and rising expectations and cross-cultural influences on values and expectations of employees as well as customers. Thus, the role the HR managers play can either take the organization to the heights of success or evaporate its very existence. What are those qualities that make the difference?
