SIHRM now encompasses SHRM in multinationals (i.e. the impact of context and culture
on SHRM); comparative HRM (i.e. comparisons of HRM theories and practices in different
countries or regions); and the management of expatriates in different countries or regions. It
also explores a broad range of employee types – short-term assignments, repatriates (employees
FEATURES WITHIN CHAPTERS returning home from international assignments, especially the diaspora from China, Vietnam
and India), third country nationals (employees from neither the home nor host countries of
operation), locals working for global corporations, and self-initiated employees (people who
choose to work overseas to advance their skills and careers).43
HRM IN PRACTICE
In essence, SIHRM is concerned with the management of global workforces, including
features such as the choice and development of global leaders and global mindsets, global
employees and global HRM systems. Accordingly, SIHRM is now linked with sub-disciplines

ensuring that all items are covered and to keep the induction focused.
The key to successful induction is to plan and organise the induction in advance as well as
ensure staff are trained in the importance of staff induction and how to conduct the program.
Those who plan induction programs often expect new employees to immediately familiarise
PROFESSIONAL TIP themselves with all types of detailed and assorted facts about the organisation. However, while
there are many things that a new employee should know, most of them can be learnt over a
period of time and in a series of meetings. It is customary to initially provide information about

kit of materials that new employees can read at their leisure. The induction program does not
have to be based on endless supplies of policies and checklists. It can also be interactive and
exciting, making use of digital technology. For example, Bajaj Finserv, voted as one of the best
companies to work for in India, uses a gaming induction program, based on Formula One
racing, to teach new employees about the organisation.5

job design, office space utilisation, learning and development, and performance recording and
evaluation, to mention just a few areas.56
In response to these challenges, new forms of employee benefits and rewards have begun to
emerge, including variable leave entitlements and greater flexibility in attendance requirements
and work–life balance opportunities. As examples of these new benefits and rewards trends,
pharmaceutical company MDA provides ‘green’ bonuses to employees who choose to use public
transport or ride to work; Ernst & Young offers free personal financial planning services to its
employees; Cotton On allows staff to bring their pets to the office on specific days; Patagonia
encourages its employees to ‘go surfing’ at lunch time; Netflix and Virgin have ‘unlimited
leave’ provisions for some of their staff; and Telstra and GE employees can ‘buy out’ extra leave
weeks.57 HR specialists have a major role to play in ensuring that an organisational culture
conducive to the achievement of overall strategic objectives is developed and maintained.

xx PREFACE AND AHRI ENDORSEMENT
At the global level, the volatility of political and economic environments provides
organisations across the world with new and unexpected threats and opportunities. These are
illustrated by such diverse developments as the election of President Donald Trump in the
United States and the challenges posed by North Korea; the contested withdrawal of the
United Kingdom from the European Union following the Brexit referendum; the formation
of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC); the continuing rise of China and India; frequent
leadership changes in Australia and elsewhere, and constantly fluctuating currencies and stock
markets.
While it is difficult to predict, there are indications that HRM theories will need to
incorporate stronger environmental, social responsibility and ethical dimensions (‘green
HRM’, ‘sustainable HRM’ and ‘responsible HRM’) as communities and workers demand that
organisations respond more strategically to these global challenges. In an increasing ‘war’ for
talent, organisations that fail to respond will find it difficult to compete as employer branding in
these dimensions becomes more imperative for choosy younger workers. In many organisations,
HRM professionals are (or will become) the catalysts for such challenges. In addition, given the
monumental changes to jobs, skills and entire workplaces associated with Industry 4.0, HRM
professionals will need to focus more intensively on proactive human resource planning, global
and local environmental scanning, devolving many of their traditional functions (attraction
and retention, learning and development, performance and rewards management) to line
managers and/or outsourcing to external service providers, and using artificial intelligence or
robotic technologies to augment them. The increasing use of big data and more sophisticated
human resource information management systems (HRIMS) will become mandatory for these
purposes, as well as stronger accountability for their strategies, processes and outcomes.
The roles of HRM professionals are also likely to become more fragmented, with
emphases on functional specialists (e.g. attraction and retention consultants, reward specialists,
learning and development experts) and ‘fair work’ counsellors who monitor and enforce
compliance with legal and industrial relations regulations and processes. Such new HRM
roles may be undertaken both within organisations and externally. With respect to traditional
HRM functions, the demands of Industry 4.0 are likely to transform attraction and selection
systems via the use of chatbots, computer-aided selection processes and social media; learning
and development is likely to comprise blended, self-paced packages on demand; job and
performance management criteria may emphasise soft skills over specific technical competence
and capabilities; while, increasingly, rewards and benefits are likely to be individualised rather
than generalised, dependent on mutually agreed outcomes. Multiple (internal and external)
careers will become the norm.
The challenge for the HRM profession and its practitioners is to understand the avalanche
of forthcoming changes; to develop flexible long-, medium- and short-term strategies and plans
to accommodate them based on available data; to collaborate with line managers, outsourced
and in-sourced service providers and (where appropriate) unions in order to deliver responsive,

PREFACE AND AHRI ENDORSEMENT xxi
responsible and cost-effective HRM systems; and to account for their effectiveness in terms
that reflect business imperatives. As Peter Wilson, National President of the Australian Human
Resources Institute (AHRI) suggests, it is important to ‘measure and reward the execution of
HRM service delivery that optimises human relationships and a more positive culture … (and)
secures a more responsible operation that safeguards brand and reputation’.3
Our goal in this 10th edition of HRM Strategy and Practice is to provide students of HRM
with the capacity to understand and act within this new context, and to become capable and
ethical HRM practitioners and leaders across the range of HRM functions.
