What role do human resource managers play in the processes of technical change in organizations? What opportunities or constraints are presented by different dimensions of technical change? How does technical change affect such issues as job design, supervision, total quality management, team-working, increased flexibility, skills training and employee involvement? In addressing these central themes and debates, this book provides a systematic analysis of the relations between technical change and human resource management (HRM). The contributors draw on research and case studies to clearly demonstrate that effective technical change in organizations is integrally related to effective HRM - as much by general and line managers as by specialist personnel managers.

This exciting new book has grown from a need to provide practical advice to managers who deal with contemporary human resource and change issues. A crucial role of a manager is to respond in the best interests of the organisation and at the same time retain talent. Skill shortages and ageing populations in developed economies and the need for emerging economies to develop their workforce coincide to present managers with unique challenges. Human Resource Management and Change: A practising managers guide offers a timely overview of recent environmental and economic changes as depicted by the DELTA forces of change. These include demographic, environmental, legal, technical and attitudinal changes that are in part the product of globalization, and the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). The fundamental strategies for managing change and implementing human resource practices are clearly explained. End of chapter study guides further explain the topics of the chapters by providing case studies and review and discussion questions as well as further reading. The text reflects the everyday challenge managers face in a turbulent environment and focuses on providing practical guidelines to managers who may not have higher academic qualifications to help them manage people and change.

Human resources departments spending half of their time administering their companies' HR plans ... Line managers with no access to records on either their own staff's performance, or even on their own department's success in meeting corporate goals ... Employees knowing precious little about the value or cost of their benefits packages... Just a few examples, but the message is clear: The vast majority of human resource information systems (HRIS) as they exist today are woefully inadequate for supporting productive personnel functions. As the twenty-first century approaches - and with it, ever-greater competitive pressures for increased performance at reduced cost, and faster, more efficient communication with less effort - it's plain that most American businesses desperately need a technological shot in their human resource arms. In this trailblazing book, Alfred J. Walker shows HR professionals how to move HRIS from its present back-office, record-keeping role to its rightful place as the central business technology of a winning organization. Based on principles Walker has successfully implemented at many of the nation's Fortune 100 companies, Handbook of Human Resource Information Systems leads you step-by-step through the stages necessary to fundamentally shift the focus of the HR function - by utilizing the HRIS more effectively, establishing it as a guiding force, and positioning your company for strategic advantage in the years ahead. The book begins by outlining the history of HRIS, its early and as yet largely unfulfilled promise, the basic principles of HRIS planning and development, and the enormous potential inherent in an "extended" HRIS that serves as the primeinformation and decision-support system for an entire organization. You'll then find practical guidance on the nuts-and-bolts issues of HRIS implementation, including how to develop and/or design HRIS to fit company needs, with an emphasis on analyzing work flow and re-engineering the work prior to automating tasks; manage the system for optimal organizational advantage, and involve users in ongoing development of HRIS; justify costs and allocate resources, with an eye toward immediate gains and long-range benefits; and change management structures to reflect your new HRIS environment, and plan for the future. Amply illustrated with many charts, tables, and examples, the Handbook of Human Resource Information Systems shows you how to do what the most forward-thinking businesses are already doing: Extending the reach of HRIS companywide to such critical areas as empowering line managers to be more effective, help with communications, interactive benefits, career development systems, and employee recruitment. In short, this pioneering book brings to life an idea whose time has come - and whose benefits are long overdue.

Since 1995, USC's Center for Effective Organizations (CEO) has conducted the definitive longitudinal study of the human resource management function in organizations. By analyzing new data every three years since then, the Center has been able to consistently chart changes in how HR is organized and managed, while at the same time providing guidance on how professionals in the field can drive firm performance. Global Trends in Human Resource Management, the seventh report from CEO, provides the newest findings about what makes HR successful and how it can add value to organizations today. Edward E. Lawler III and John W. Boudreau conclude that HR is most powerful when it plays a strategic role, makes use of information technology, has tangible metrics and analytics, and integrates talent and business strategies. To adapt to the demands of a changing global marketplace, HR is increasingly required to span the boundaries between its function, the organization as a whole, and the dynamic environment within which it operates. This report tracks changes in a global sample of firms that shows how HR differs across Europe, the U.S., and Asia, providing an international benchmark against which to measure a company's practice and shows how HR can adapt in a rapidly changing landscape.
