Organisational HR strategies are consists of recruitment, managing the people, functions

context, various trends and development has influenced the organisational HR and also other
strategies at the greater level (Kramar, 2014). There are various contemporary trends such as the
impact of globalisation, workforce diversity, changing the skills requirements, continuous
improvement along with processes for improving productivity. Also, these trends are influenced
by many factors such as government regulation, changing demographics, technological
opportunities and human diversity etc. In context with TNT, given contemporary trends &
development have effected the productivity through various different ways are as follows:
Workforce: Every company believes that if actual manpower is potential and have right

and objectives related to their business along with special care of the people working to give
them adequate & right opportunities to grow in their career. Various practices such as identifying

skills gaps and fill them with right opportunistic training & development has been done by TNT.
Hence, such practices have increased the productivity for TNT into the market.
Technology: Technical aspects has raised the productivity & performance of the business
entities at the optimised level (Fisher, 2013). Technological role in the business function has
raised the services to the customers such as delivering any parcels, postal and any other items in
an effective ways. In context with TNT, such involvement has develop the HR functioning into a
business manner. Also, technical perspective has raised the business strategy of any business
entity whether TNT or any other at an optimized level to gain both effectiveness and productivity
of the business. As, TNT is engaged in courier delivery, so technology has evolved its business

involvement has positive impact on, whether profit generation, production, operations and
strategic HR strategies.
Economical: Various trends such as continuous improvements in the business function

hand, where private entities has the major impacts of external factors such as creditors, suppliers,
investor etc., in that case, HR policies plays the major role to develop and re-create the
