Principles of Management:
In a well written essay, describe three trends in human resource management. (Review the various aspects of HRM. A trend is a prevailing tendency, movement, practice.) For each trend, discuss its implication to a prospective, potential employee as well as to current employees (working for an organization). How does each of these trends influence one's ability to find employment (or, in some cases, retain employment). You may need to ponder these questions; rely on current events/articles to give you insight. Make sure that you understand the definition of a trend. Trends are not existing laws or standard elements of HRM. They are shifts in those. You may have to do some current research to complete this assignment. Because of the changes in the economic environment, current implies a time frame of within the last 2-3 years or so. Laws, regulations, or policies that have been around for decades are not considered current. (For example, think about how benefits,the selection process, work hours, etc. have changed; what do employers currently practice that is different from years ago?) YOU MUST INCLUDE A WORK CITED PAGE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF YOUR INFORMATION.
