1PAST AND FUTURE OF HUMAN RESOURCEIntroductionWhen the new millennia began in the year of 2000, it started a revolution in manybusiness sectors around the world and even in the daily lives of the common people. Theinternet went viral and brought forth ideas which were not thought possible few years before.Social media started to connected people across the world within a matter of seconds andsince then, humanity tried to improvise more and more. The world changed dramatically overthe past 40 years, reshaped by factors that were defined by technological advancements and anew generation of employees with creativity and smart work (Bennett, C.C. and Hauser, K.,2013). Previously, companies relied on annual reviews to sort out an employee or use themeans of draconian strategies to start competition between one employees against another.Nowadays large organizations use a less formal approach and assessing by flexible methods,employees are assessed on how they think, work in a team and how well they contribute.Flexible work slots and schedules have brought a different way altogether to evaluate work.Rather than working for long hours which was previously mandatory in a lot of companies,now it is looked that what is actually done within the allocated time.Having said that, the society slowly and steadily move further into the future, peoplegets more and more dependent on machines and electronics to do their work for them, notjust because they save time and effort but because most organizations are totally operated andrelied on them (Nilsson 2014). After the invention of artificial intelligence and robotics, it isdebatable whether people operate the machine or whether the machine operates the people(Barrett et al. 2015). This analysis will give an overview of the professions of the modernsociety that how they have changed over the past decades and how they can change becauseof the introduction of artificial intelligence and robotics into the modern world.Discussion
2PAST AND FUTURE OF HUMAN RESOURCEDoctorOne of the very necessary profession to sustain the society is that of all the peopleworking in the profession of health industry. The profession of the doctors are noble anddemanding at the same time. The profession has mainly depended on the scientificknowledge of the human anatomy. The veterinary doctors on the other hand need to beproficient about the anatomy of animals. In the past few decades the profession has changedradically due to fast advancement of technology and medicine.The year 1970 marked one of the most important years in the history of medicinewhen the first “immunosuppressive drugs” were introduced (Foster 2014). The immunesystem of the human body could be altered and controlled by outside artificial means (VanSandwijk, Bemelman and Ten Berge 2013). The changes that came in the following decadesmainly constituted of the way diseases are identified and the way medical intervention wasutilised to counteract the effects of the disease producing microbes also changed. In 1971 theCT scan system was introduced which was a major milestone in the field of disease detection.Today it is widely used to detect and determine many diseases (Collen and Ball, 2015). In theyear 1973 the Laser eye surgery was introduced. With the change of the technology in themedical field the Human Resource processes of the field also changed radically. The doctorswere in the early times mainly working as independent free lancers however with theestablishment of a unified and systematised medical system the doctors were now managedby the human resource managers. The government employ a large number of doctors in thegovernment owned and run hospitals. These professionals are now under the governmenthuman resource department who can direct them to do a particular job in a particular regionas required by the department. On the other hand the doctors who are working with the bigmedical organisations are under the human resource process as well unlike the early days ofthe profession (Bynum 2013).
3PAST AND FUTURE OF HUMAN RESOURCEIn Australian context the workforce engaged in providing healthcare is growing fasterthan the population. The number of doctors working in the Australian Industry were 32,000in 2001 which increased to 43,400.Image 1: Increase in Australian health professional over the years.Source: (Abs.gov.au 2018)The future of the medical profession and the associated human resource process lookspromising as well. In the next 30 years it's going to become almost unrecognizable from whatit is today. This is going to be driven by three things artificial intelligence algorithms androbotics (Wishart 2016). Artificial intelligence and algorithms are going to work together tohelp do a much better job of diagnosing diseases a selecting the correct treatments forpatients. Already IBM's Watson computer is doing a lot of work at the moment it's focused inon the cancer environment but very soon it's going to be extended across to every disease(Ferrucci 2012). what they're doing at IBM is they are feeding the supercomputer Watsonwith every single piece of medical information ever known by anybody anywhere as well asall of the medical records that they can get their hands on (Doyle-Lindrud 2015). Watson isthen doing a whole lot of different correlations and causations and looking for patterns andthat whole big data analysis to try and find out the causes of various diseases and to do abetter job (Lally et al. 2012). Cancer doctors are getting about a 70% accurate diagnosis first
