Advancing HRM with Technology
• Internet and collaborative software, that allows employees anytime anywhere to interface and share information with one another electronically, have changed how and where people and companies do their businesses.
• Social media networking has become the new way to find employees and check them out to see if they are acceptable candidates.
• HR managers have to concern whether or not to develop blogging and social media policies, also whether or not to establish rules about the amount of time employees can spend online.
• A shift from “touch labor” to “knowledge worker” – employee responsibilities expand beyond physical execution to include a richer array of activities such as planning, decisionmaking,
and problem-solving.
• As a result, for organizations in some industries, training has become essential.
