Document Summary

Key challenges influencing hr practices and processes (international) When entering new markets, organizations are confronted with a wide range of challenges mostly related to socio- economic, political, and technological aspects: workforce diversity: Increased number of older workers: employees with disabilities, gender issues, ethnic and cultural differences among employees. Complexity of workforce diversity will grow with each foreign market canadian organizations decide to enter. Ihrm systems must consider and accommodate the needs of an increasingly diverse labour force and tailor international hr policies and practices accordingly: employment legislation: Hr managers are faced with a complex legislation framework. When crossing national borders, canadian hr managers encounter additional, host-country employment legislation: the role of the hr function: Hr departments often understaffed, under funded, and limited to a supporting role with little key decision-making power. Employment legislation, socioeconomic, and technological differences in local markets demand sophisticated ihrm systems.
