Common Human Resource Challenges

As I Mentioned in my previews blogs, there are many common Human Resource Challenge that can be seen especially in our country. In my first Blog, I was trying to bring your attention about what can be seen in small companies. Meanwhile Human resources managers face a myriad challenges with today's workforce. There are issues concerning the diverse workforce, legislation affecting the workplace and technology matters that rise to the top of the list of challenges. Human resources managers who encounter these challenges use their leadership skills and expertise to avert issues that might arise from these challenges.

Compliance with Laws and Regulations

Keeping up with changing employment laws is a struggle for business owners. Many choose to ignore employment laws, believing they don’t apply to their business. But doing so could mean audits, lawsuits, and possibly even the demise of your company.

No matter how large or small your business, it’s important to make sure you’re in compliance with local, state, and federal labor laws. There are regulations on everything from hiring practices, to wage payment, to workplace safety. 

Mulholland et al(2005) say that the new diversity management thinking suggests that diversity management goes beyond the equal opportunities management considerations as described by the law, and promises to make a positive and strategic contribution to the successful operation of business. So diversity management is being hailed as a proactive, strategically relevant and results-focused approach and a welcome departure from the equal opportunities approach, which has been defined as reactive, operational and sometimes counterproductive.

Management Changes

As a business grows, its strategies, structure, and internal processes grow with it. Some employees have a hard time coping with these changes. A lot of companies experience decreased productivity and morale during periods of change. Business owners should focus on communicating the benefits of the change for everyone. Regular staff meetings are a good place to start. When your team understands the why, how, and when of the change, they’ll be more likely to get on board.
