2. The Changing Environment of HR Management :Globalization Trends
Globalization refers to the tendency of firms to extend their sales, ownership, and/or manufacturing to new markets abroad.
Globalization of the world economy and other trends has triggered changes in how companies organize, manage and use their HR departments.
More globalization means more competition, and more competition means more pressure to lower costs, make employees more productive, and do things better and less expensively.

The Changing Environment of HR Management :Trends in the Nature of Work
- Jobs are changing due to new technological demands.
Dramatic increases in productivity have allowed manufacturers to produce more with fewer employees
Nontraditional workers, such as those who hold multiple jobs, part-time workers, or people working in alternative work arrangements, enable employers to keep costs down.
1. High-Tech Jobs – More jobs have gone high tech, requiring workers to have more education and skills.
2. Service Jobs – Most newly created jobs are and will continue to be in the service sector.
3. Human Capital - refers to the knowledge, education, training, skills, and expertise of a firm’s workers The HR function must employ more sophisticated and creative means to identify, attract, select, train and motivate the required work force

The Changing Environment of HR Management :Workforce Demographic Trends
The labor force is getting older and more multi-ethnic.
The aging labor force presents significant changes in terms of potential labor shortages, and many firms are instituting new policies aimed at encouraging aging employees to stay, or at attracting previously retired employees.
Growing numbers of workers with eldercare responsibilities, and high rates of immigration also present challenges and opportunities for HR managers.

Creating High Performance Work Systems (HPWS)
HR can impact organizational performance in 3 ways:

through effective HR practices Pre-employment personality testing and increased training are just two HR practices that can produce employees who perform better.
High Performance Work Systems – Employment security, selective hiring, extensive training, self managed team and decentralized decision making, information sharing, contingent rewards, Implementation of such practices often results in surprising benefits.

9. Measuring the HR Management Team’s Performance

These metrics allow managers to measure their HR units’ efficiency.

Managing With the HR Scorecard :
The HR Scorecard is a concise measurement system, showing quantitative standards or “metrics”
used to measure HR activities, employee behaviors resulting from these activities,
and to measure the strategically relevant organizational outcomes of those employee behaviors.
The scorecard highlights the causal link between HR activities, emergent employee behaviors, and the resulting firm-wide strategic outcomes and performance
