Application: Adapting to Global Trends
For Human Resources professionals and other business leaders, one major challenge is that global trends cannot always be anticipated and predicted with anything near 100% accuracy. This makes the job of the Human Resources professional more interesting but also more challenging. How can an organization with the help of its HR adapt quickly and efficiently enough to stay ahead of competitors if the organization cannot predict trends more accurately?
Research and identify a global trend that has the potential to impact an organization and its Human Resources Department/Division and its practices, requiring both to demonstrate their ability to be agile and adaptive.
Create a 3- to 4-page paper answer to the following:
• Describe a current global trend that might impact an organization and its Human Resources Department/ or Division's policies and practices based on their HR strategies (e.g., social media, aging workforce, virtual workplace, global office, etc.).
• Identify and describe a specific organization that might likely be impacted by this trend and be at risk if the trend is ignored.
• Create an HR SWOT analysis for your selected company, using the Attached HR SWOT Matrix, addressing these external trends and identifying current HR strengths and weaknesses.*This will become the basis of your AHROP's Appendix B.
• Write an HR strategy (i.e,. a sentence with an action verb showing direction for each external trend with key action steps needed to make that strategy become a reality.
