Document Summary
Controlled economies: jobs are offered/designed by the government. Free economies: jobs are offered/designed by the private firms. Hrm is the process of: determining human resources needs and then: recruiting, selecting, developing, motivating, evaluating, compensating, and scheduling employees to achieve organizational goals. All activities are designed to achieve organizational goals within the laws that affect human resource management. One reason why human resource management is receiving increased attention is the major shift from traditional manufacturing industries to service and high- tech manufacturing industries that require highly technical job skills. More than 70% canadian workforce is in services. This shift means that many workers must be retrained for new, more challenging jobs. A growing percentage of new workers who are undereducated and unprepared for jobs in the contemporary business environment. A shortage of workers in skilled trades due to retirement of aging baby boomers. A shift in employee attitudes toward work.
