Current Workplace Challenges

There are many changes and challenges facing today’s organizations and employees. There are organizations that are moving off-shore and in some cases outsourcing work to other organizations. There is a new generation of employees who will be joining the work world and the dynamics of the workers are changing. In this discussion, you will reflect on what you understand about the economy, workforce (those entering and those exiting), and the dynamics of diversity that may impact organizations. 

For your initial post, address the following:

• Identify what you think are the top three challenges facing companies that may impact the work that human resources (HR) does in an organization (speculate what you think the near future may hold for HR)
• Explain why you think these challenges are critical and how they will impact HR
• Describe what you think HR’s role should be (if any) in working with these challenges 

Youractive participation in the discussion forums is essential to your overall success. Discussion questions are designed to help you make meaningful connections between the course content and the larger concepts and goals of the course. These discussions offer you the opportunity to express your own thoughts, ask questions for clarification, and gain insight from your classmates’ responses and instructor’s guidance.
