6. Conflict management
21st century brings with it long working hours, target pressures, high competition, etc. which can lead to stress and conflicts in the organisation. The HR manager‟s burden increases as he will have to make sure that work is done timely and accurately but at the same time he will have to find ways of reducing stress and conflict before it can cause any serious damage. Simultaneously, he has to balance his work life and personal life as the stress and long working hours can also have a toll on him.
