Human Resources: The Juggler’s Lament

“Times are changing!” We’ve been told and heard this ongoing statement by progressive and non-progressive people alike. Maximizing human capital is more complex than simply hiring people and distributing paychecks! The quandary for H.R. professionals today, is the dichotomy between developing relationships and operating in a technological environment. The stock of human capabilities and knowledge has been commonly overlooked for years.

In this workshop, you will learn relevant concepts, research findings, and workplace applications related to the importance of human resource professionals in organizations. Particular emphasis will be placed on the initial step of understanding the relevance of theories, so they can serve as a useful tool for decision makers in a global society and future economy.

We will explore some of the causes and the consequences that current changes/trends can have for both the individual and the organization. Ultimately, this training is designed to help participants see human resources as something to be managed for the beneficial outcomes of everyone in the workplace.

Objectives:

  1. Identify current trends in the Human Resource profession.

  2. Explore recruiting practices in the future of Human Resources.

  3. Discuss the various contributors to the expectations of new employees coming to Human Resources

  4. Review the strategies for Human Resource professionals to implement for managing and maintaining a healthy and productive workplace.
