Description

In today’s competitive and complex business environment the human resource has to be highly responsive and effective for sustainability and growth. The human resource practice of work-life balance has gained significant importance in today’s organizations due to increase in the complexity of the processes, which has led to imbalance in the work and non-work roles for the employees. Diversity in the workplace is another important need for organizations due to globalization and need for increased and varying levels of talent. The report discusses these two practices and its significance for the organizations. The report also discusses the Human Resource Management (HRM) implications of these two environmental trends.
