Human resource management

some of the recent trends i have read as follows:

• motivating the employees
• exploring redeployment of employees whenever feasible,
• retaining talented employees,
• cost cutting measures rather than head counts or focusing on lay-offs which results in loosing of valued workforce,
• workforce planning i.e, right person at the right place on the right time,
• reassuring the employees remaining that they are valued.  

Few HR trend that I am aware of.... 

a) Policies- HR policies based on trust, openness, equity and consensus.

b) Motivation- Create conditions in which people are willing to work with zeal, initiative and enthusiasm; make people feel like winners.

c) Relations- Fair treatment of people and prompt redress of grievances would pave the way for healthy work-place relations.

d) Change agent- Prepare workers to accept technological changes by clarifying doubts.

e) Quality Consciousness- Commitment to quality in all aspects of personnel administration will ensure success.

Due to the new trends in HR, in a nutshell the HR manager should treat people as resources, reward them equitably, and integrate their aspirations with corporate goals through suitable HR policies.
