The Value of Innovative Human Resource Management Practices

Chapter 13 in America at Work, 2006, pp 227-239 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the last 30 years, there has been a dramatic change in firms’ choices of human resource management (HRM) practices towards what are often labeled “innovative” or “high-performance” practices. These new practices often include greater teamwork, greater participation by employees in decision making, more information sharing among employees, greater training and education, and, often, new forms of incentive pay to complement these changes. In fact, these new practices represent a “technology shock” that is similar to the “technology shock” of new information technologies.
