According to the Society for Human Resource Management, "the Global Human Resources Discipline deals with all aspects of HR within the worldwide context, including U.S.-based entities doing business internationally or non-U.S.-based entities operating in their own locale or worldwide. It includes matters such as management of global workforces, expatriation and repatriation, HR practices and laws around the world and those arising in specific countries and regions. It also includes matters that focus on careers, communications, legal and regulatory issues, technology, metrics, outsourcing and effective practices in the Global HR arena. It does not include matters involving U.S. immigration policies and visas or the requirements for verifying eligibility to work in the United States, which are encompassed in the Staffing Management Discipline."
