Human Resources

The mission of HR departments is changing – HR manager is becoming more and more strategic partner to top management. This means that also top management expectations are changing. HR managers have to take care of not only personnel administration but also anticipate future needs of the business and adjust HR policies based on that. Through that they can move their organization to future growth based on acquiring, developing and retaining the right human capital.

For HR professionals understanding the business and familiarity with business environment are inevitable to the same extent as experience in the position outside human resources. We view this combination as a necessary part of career development of the exceptional HR leaders. Agenda of today’s HR professionals includes world financial and economic crisis, digital innovations and technology development, social media, globalization, changes in workforce structure and related deepening generation differences, their values, expectations and work attitudes, strong share of generation Y in the job market with its specifics, international virtual work teams, Corporate Social Responsibility importance and living up to the values of the organization.

Key issue seems to be the ability to deal with uncertainty, ambiguity and volatility of the business environment. Core activity of the HR professional is to get and retain talents and work with employee engagement. “People Relations Managers” have to effectively handle on going changes and leadership skills. Role of HR leaders could be seen as competition for talents. Even in context of rapidly growing number of regional Shared Service Centres in EMEA region the HR mission is clear – organizational structure and obtaining and development of talents.
