One stands baffled to reflect on the future of one’s profession as it changes and evolves and remains in a race with this evolution where you must catch up and keep pace, otherwise you will be behind and there will be no place for you in the near future.
Human resource management practices and trends have emerged as a result of this change, which are not new, but whose impact will become more visible and necessary this year.
