Homework: Social Responsibility and Human Resource Management
Discusses the some of the challenges face by human resource management in responding to changes in society as well as issues related to ethics and social responsibility. Near-constant changes in workforce composition, skills, worker expectations and work-life relationships require well-conceived and effectively implemented HR practices and systems that must be continuously reviewed from a strategic point of view. Pressure from a variety of external constituents and/or the desire to "do the right thing" greatly influence decisions related to ethics and social responsibility and are influenced and affected by human resource management.
