The National HRD Network is pleased to announce a Virtual Learning Session on "How valid are HRM's democratic credentials?" on Wednesday, 13th February, 2019 at 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM.

TOPIC

The terms ‘authoritarian’ and ‘democratic’ are political concepts often applied as a means of distinguishing human resource management (HRM) from older forms of labour management, the common assertion being that former authoritarian practices have become more democratic under HRM. This talk challenges this view by arguing that the foundational principles and practices of HRM, when orientated by the expectations of a ‘desired’ organisational culture, cast it into a role that involves mobilising the collective psychology of organisational members to accept willingly the legitimacy of managerial authority and the virtues of firm loyalty. It is suggested that such a role has no parallel in orthodox democratic arrangements; that if political concepts are to be applied to the way labour is managed under HRM, a clearer affinity exists with the aims and practices of totalitarian regimes and their use of propaganda and other means to control civilian populations.

SPEAKER

Dr Keith Abbott (Cantab) is the Chair of Employment Relations and Human Resource Management units at both Graduate and Post-Graduate Level, and his research interests centre on the politics and philosophy of labour managment systems.

Context:

Everything from shopping, banking, games and even hobbies have now moved online - in this hyperconnected world. We would be naive to think that hiring and other HR functions won't move online and we see the trend today with the online job boards - Naukri, Monster and the likes and the ever so popular social hiring via LinkedIn and other sources.

Likewise, gone are the days when campus hiring happened on pen and paper and through group discussions - technology has now simulated environments and other digital translations of all the offline archaic HR processes.

Join NHRDN & Mettl to learn about trends of the future - Technology in Campus Recruitment - Pros/Cons, Dos/Don't, What are organizations doing today and what will they do tomorrow, Opinions and discussions and more!

National HRD Network in association with Kwench is pleased to announce the upcoming Virtual Learning Session on 'Agility in HR'on Friday, 27th September 2013 at 1500hrs.

Session Insight

World around us is changing at a fast pace and to effectively compete it is imperative that companies leverage innovative business and people practices to differentiate the business from the competition.

Increased competitive focus requires every business process to become lean and agile, including HR. Traditionally HR has been perceived by many in executive management as a cost center that is transactional and sometimes inflexible. We need to look to the future, predicting changes that will affect the way HR works and need to balance the requirements posed by both short-term and long-term initiatives.

We need to communicate and educate in real-time with the efficient use of technology and need to enable the workforce, especially managers, to perform at high levels. It’s imperative that HR evolves as a function of the organization that can support change, evolving as fast as the business environment.

This session is designed to challenge and assist everyone striving to create more strategic value for the business by understanding; evaluating, borrowing ideas learned from Agile Methodologyto lay out a path for the way HR can configure itself its people and its work to derive the changes needed to support today’s organizations
