1. HUMAN RESOURCES INTO THE FUTURE………

2. Challenges for HRM Increased globalisation + international competition
Rapid technological change
Restructuring – mergers and acquisitions
Change – new management seek different approaches
Transformation and BEE
War for talent
High unemployment yet a skills shortage
Disparities in wages – union unrest
Lack of emotional intelligence
Poor leadership
Social problems – addiction

3. Where have we come from…..
Personnel administrators
Re-active rather than pro-active
Social workers
Police force of the HR policies
Confusion of our role – do we support management of employees?
Bogged down by much administration
Confined to HR job descriptions
Old debates: Does Payroll sit with HR or Finance?

Positive psychology: having a purpose at work and focus on individual strengths - happiness pays!

10. Our response in remaining relevant in the future……
Accuracy and attention to detail still matters
Need to be kind to ourselves and others
Establish our own goals aligned to the needs of the organisation
Be creative and willing to try new ways
Grow our knowledge and keep learning
Know the potential risks and have a plan B
Have fun and never take ourselves too seriously
Assert ourselves and have a voice of reason
Always hear both sides of the story and be able to mediate effectively

11. Women navigating the future
We need to juggle many balls......
Stress – what matters is our attitude to stress
Are we taking care of our needs – learning, self-care, healthy boundaries – fun, compassion for others and moments of absolute quiet
Are we able to observe ourselves?
Can we live with the things we cannot change
And have the courage to change the things we can – do we have the wisdom to know the difference?
Can we for once and for all get over the guilt of being working mothers and rather feel confident in being role models for the future generation
