Preparing people for the future:: The next agenda for HRM

Jean-Marie Hiltrop

European Management Journal, 1998, vol. 16, issue 1, 70-78

Abstract: As organisations demand much more from their employees as a result from external pressures, the role of managers in the future will have to change. Jean-Marie Hiltrop explores the implications for future managers which include more stress, new career perspectives, new skills and at least four new key competencies. There are also implications for human resource management. The new flexible, process-orientated organisations will need new recruitment and training systems which encourage adaptable managers, and managers themselves will have to live with a large flow of IT-processed data as well as organisational complexity and ambiguity. The author makes a number of suggestions for accelerating some of the changes needed in organisations.
