Global human resources management

Global HR Management

As a senior manager is an international firm I would have a five-point strategy to build a workforce that outperforms rivals. The first component is to develop close relations with the government. We want to be able to attract the best workers from all over the world, so we will need government cooperation with regards to visa availability and requirements. Bureaucracy should not impede our ability to be globally competitive. The second component will be to develop a compelling human resources package. We will have the best salary/benefit package in the industry in order to attract the best talent. Work environment is also key to attracting and retaining talent. Therefore, the third component will be the development of an organizational culture that encourages top people to seize opportunities as they arise. The ability for top people to identify and pursue such opportunities without a burdensome, top-down structure or inertia-driven culture is critical.

The fourth component will be training. We will not only bring top people into the organization, but we will make them better. The training program will be multidisciplinary, to give our people all of the tools they need to excel, rather than merely giving them some of the tools they need to function. The fifth component will be to foster cooperation within the company. This will allow our people to share knowledge from all areas of the company with one another. Furthermore, it will provide a more enriching work environment, and allow for the free flow of workers to different parts of the company. These last two components of the plan will help us build a company full of leaders, from which we will derive sustainable competitive advantage.
