Introduction
Workplace management, as well as new challenges, have referred to every process and
activity, which has needed to maintain various productive workplaces. Mark Moschetto in his
article ‘Key Trends in Workforce Management and New Challenges for HR’ has discussed
regarding workplace management, business discipline, various area including attendance and
time tracking, leave and absence tracking, scheduling for staffs, compliance regarding
employment law and some emerging area of risk management (Moschetto, 2014). Such
transactions of workforce management have been mechanized for many years; such discipline or
rules and regulations have evolved intensely in contemporary years and are now used in
practicality in various organizations and functions of the HRs for measuring and improving labor
efficiency and effectiveness. This paper aims to critically discuss the above-mentioned article
with a view of workplace management and laws relating to the employment and employer-
employee relationship.
Analysis
The factors or influences such as an environment of increasingly aggressive regulations
and enlarged global competition, the organizations of this area have been required to evaluate
their management systems of workforce repeatedly and approaches with an appreciation toward
more forcefully automation, as well as greater exposure for acquiescence of requirements. Some
extraordinary governing development is the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Act has previously
been a substance or facilitator for a number of process of workforce management reform and
structure or system investment. However, this Act has made some health insurances, which are

affordable to the people. The author of that article has only discussed the limited approach of this
Act, but it has not only supported to these workers in an organization, in a broader sense, it has a
great aspect to the other persons also.
According to the author, such workforce management has touched almost every
department of an organization. Many companies have given or consolidated those strategies of
workforce management to the department of HR (Moschetto, 2014). He has shown research on
WorkForce Software that almost 68% of the surveyed house of the organizations have given the
workforce management to their HR department and the study has been representing a
development of such management almost 12 points within two years. However, most surveys
have responded to an indication that such HR teams have faced difficulty in such task of
management of labor compliance in every organization. However, it can be strongly agreed with
the author that workforce management can be the main feature of the ability of the company and
it can be a positive appliance for the growth of the company.
The author has also concerned with the new laws and rules of the company laws
regarding the increasing workload to ensure such compliance. He demonstrates in this article that
the employees of an organization have a tendency to reporting relating to compliance of work.
The author has found to reasons for such tendency; firstly, such a rapid change of laws and rules
of company law; and secondly, the task of the demonstration of compliance as it is crucial for
reinforcement of employees’ confidence, trust and morale (Moschetto, 2014). It can be strongly
agreed with the viewpoint of the author that changing laws in employment may affect the
relationship of an employer and an employee. The employer-employee relationship is an
important factor in the progress of an organization. The laws relating to the employment and
workforce management has been established in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 1938.

This Act has made a limitation of minimum wages, overtime, working hours and many other
things relating to the employment. The department of HR should follow those rules for the other
employees on behalf of the employer.
The author has discussed the impact of the Affordable Care Act on the employees or the
organizations. According to him, the sense of any dynamic preparation has been supported by
several organizations recording that those organizations are dedicated to implementing of the
approach of the Act, that is, they have in such a place before interruption on that employer
command. This viewpoint of the author can be supported or agreed, as it is an important factor of
the employer-employee relationship. It is evident from most of the employers are prepared to
create the investments to the solutions, which are more capable of addressing the labor
regulations and laws.
Conclusion
Therefore, it can be concluded in this context that the rules and regulations for workforce
management should be more analyzed by the department of HR on behalf of the employers. The
author of the assigned article has surveyed various organizations for enforcement of such laws
relating to the employer-employment relationship. He demonstrates that the employees of an
organization have a tendency to reporting pertaining to compliance of work and discussed on the
FLSA. The author has discussed the issues of implementation of new laws, labor regulations in a
successful manner.
