Changing Roles V/S Seasons - HR Services
Organizations across the globe are finding that the winds of change and of competition are blowing across stronger than ever before. To cope with the extenuating circumstances, organizations are looking out for ways to continue existing and to keep prospering.

FUTURE The future looks even more exciting and threatening. Organizations are gearing up for the difficult times ahead by tapping all the resources on hand. Organizations realize that their people or employees would be one of the prime resource for establishing a competitive edge in the future. The objective for us is to visualize the role of the future HR Professionals in the new millennium.

When Henry Ford proudly looked at the assembly-line winding its way on the shop-floor like a noisy car-vomiting snake, little would he have imagined that ,soon this snake is going to be one of the most endangered species of its kind. The false economies in mass production and in huge inventories have been unceremoniously cast away today in this customer – oriented market. Buzz-words like Right-sizing, Down-sizing, Rationalization, Golden Hand-shake have been welcomed by businesses while referring to the sheer number of employees. Manufacturing strategies such as "Flexible Manufacturing systems", "Computer Integrated Manufacturing", "Enterprise-wide Resource planning" are making the rounds of the shop-floors today.

“If this is the present, what is the scenario going to be in the foreseeable future ?” The future most definitely is going to be full of challenges, and businesses are going to be guided by continuous change on an uncertain & unclear path. How the Organization responds to the tremendous demands made by the market would be the key? The whole Organization structure would need to be more organic than ever before to be able to survive and remain World-class. The stringent and ever increasing demands of the discerning customer would mean that organizations respond to the demands of the market before the competitor does. The structure would have to be lean enough to create synergy and dynamism for disseminating communication quickly across all levels. On the other hand the organization would require highly competent individuals who take the process of innovation and knowledge-enhancement seriously. Consequently, organizations would require workable strategies to align the individual talents/strengths of their people towards business goals. This is where Human Resources professionals can play a deciding role. The role of current HR services is to look at how they would have to face newer challenges ,take up different unprecedented roles and in the process help the business achieve its goals.
