This book focuses on the changing HR perspectives in the globalized world and their impact on the corporates. It has captured the changes in the entire gamut of HR like industrial relations, training, recruitment and retention, performance appraisal, outsourcing, strategic HR, leadership, talent management, competence modeling, succession planning, branding HR etc. The pivotal stimuli for these changes are globalization, improved and innovative technology in practice and also the societal changes at large. Unlike the conventional HR, human resource department today is linked with the overall organization’s business plans and objectives. As the HR functions have begun to broaden their wings across the organization, there has emerged a need for treating the employees, similar to that of selling services to the clients. Building a brand for the HR department is significant because of attracting, encouraging and holding the excellent and the shining talents in the organization in order to survive in the corporate competition. Succession planning is one of the core areas in recent days’ human resource management system, which has considered training, development and performance appraisal to be its integral part. The changing HR has a great impact on the success or failure of an organization that depends largely on how aggressively the HR function can prepare the knowledge capital of the organization.
