Reengineering Human Resources in 2010
Human Resources will face many challenges in 2010. The pressure for building slimmer and cheaper global organization will continue and Human Resources will be asked to deliver its parts of the goal of the reengineered global organization. Or the local organization able to win the battle with the global players. This will be the main goal and priority for many Human Resources around the globe – to help building a new global organization able to predict the issues in different countries and utilizing the strong growth potential at different local markets.
The global economy goes through a dramatic change and new products and services will be born as the recession changed the behavior of the customers for many years. We all carry a lot of debts and we cannot continue in our spending habits. We have to find a new way of living and it will hardly impact many organizations.
The recession 2009 was the recession of the global organizations. They have learned several lessons, which have to be solved and they will be a major improvement to the future:
- Too big to manage globally
- Keeping local risks under global supervision
- Global management of talents
The big organizations found it extremely difficult to manage the whole organization globally. The local management was not loyal to the global decisions and the local law was their main argument. The global organization will spend a lot of time investigating the possibilities to manage the organization efficiently and using more centralized power over the local entities. The global organization will set a new management best practice for the international organizations.
The local risks are extremely dangerous for the global organizations; they cannot build their healthiness on the global level. The banks were a good learning story, which the risks have to be managed locally as the organization can be healthy on the global level. It is will be a huge challenge for the organization and it will be the next best practice for many organizations. It gives a chance to the local organization, as the rules of the global competition will change completely.
The global organization discovered again, how difficult it is to build a real global team. They spent a lot of time and money into special global training sessions, but they were not able to react quickly in the coming recession and the entities used their local approach, which was extremely hard to coordinate on the global level. The real global organization is still a dream to come, it is not working right now. The Human Resources will be asked to be a part of the global team, bringing the solution, which will be suitable for all the different nations working for the global organization. Hard task, but the work in the team will be inspiring all.
The HR will have to reengineer itself again to be successful. The recession changed the view of the top managers and the leaders on their organizations. The organizations are vulnerable and they are not that strong as they expected. Many big organizations failed in the recession and the governmental help was needed for them. Building the independent and strong global organization will be a challenge of 2010. Human Resources has to be closely attached to the initiative as it is about the people, nothing more.
