INTRODUCTION
The world of work is changing and HR has to change to meet the requirements of the new reality. The role of HR is no longer functional it has become transformational. HR has to become a brand builder and a leader. The processes provided by HR have to reflect the way society is changing. As an example regular coaching and feedback have replaced the old idea of performance being managed by one yearly appraisal.
Secondly, the role of the manager is changing. The old idea that a manager is the source of knowledge and authority has been replaced by ideas such as employee empowerment and involvement. This introduces arrangements that allow organisations to pass responsibility down to employees, letting them make their own decisions and contributing to the organisation’s success. Managers, Supervisors and Team Leaders have to develop soft skills and competencies and know how to handle people effectively especially during periods of change.
In the old world, HR recruited through agencies or advertisements and relied upon interview techniques such as panel interviews without any regard for the need to make the process two-way. In the new world, everyone knows through social media what it is like to work for your company. This means that HR professionals have to be brand builders as well as ensuring that the organisation has a positive and inspiring work environment.
