INTRODUCTION
HRM stands for human resource management and is considered as a process of managing
human resources within an organisation that provide assistance in recruiting, hiring, motivating
as well as maintaining manpower within the workplace. This project is based on the reflection in
which there will be an assessment of self-awareness and personal insights regarding international
HRM (Aust, Muller-Camen and Poutsma, 2018). This reflective report will also include
examples of situations faced that have challenged attitudes, beliefs, values or behaviours
regarding international HRM. There will also be a critical concept on international HRM and
along with this, this report also involve implications for managers in context to the respective
aspect. Application of theoretical knowledge to a particular situation will also be considered in
this project and application of learnings to future career both locally or in international business
environment is also going to be discussed.
MAIN BODY
Strategically, international HRM plays a significant role in terms of managing workforce
belonging to different geographical locations as well as countries. According to my
understanding, the concept of International HRM is of a recent origin and interplays among three
different dimensions and these dimensions include activities of manpower, kinds of human
resources as well as countries of the operations (Brewster and Cerdin, 2018). It is fact that the
success of trades as well as businesses are rely on skills and manpower quality along with how
effectively such resources get utilised and managed at the international level. The concept of
International HRM increases to develop organisational knowledge, managerial skills and
technical abilities of HR employees and managers.
Learnings from the week
Week 1 Reflection
From the week I have learnt a lot of new things and different aspects of the International
HRM which I had not already know. Some of the aspects which were new to me include that
healthy and effective practices of International human resource management can help a company
in maintaining co-ordinal relationship with unions and when members of union start realising
that organisation is also having interest in employees and will not go against them then
possibilities of going on strike got greatly minimised.
