Human resources management became a business function designed to maximize employee performance and productivity to increase profits. Over time, the human resources field has developed in three stages: (1) During the Industrial Revolution, many workers labored long hours in poor conditions; (2) In the 20th century, personnel management emerged to address legal issues and safety programs; (3) In the 1970s, advanced technology allowed HR information to be accessible anywhere, changing the game. Today, HR focuses on recruiting, compensation, training, labor relations, and organizational development to address employee concerns, acquire new hires, manage separations, and improve morale. The future of HR remains bright as globalization continues connecting nations and organizations internationally.

 Addressing current employee concerns: Unlike company managers who oversee the
day-to-day work of employees, HR departments deal with employee concerns such as
benefits, pay, employee investments, pension plans, and training. Their work may also
include settling conflicts between employees or between employees and their managers.
 Acquiring new employees: The human resource management team recruits potential
employees, oversees the hiring process (background checks, drug testing, etc.), and provides
new employee orientation.
 Managing the employee separation process: The HR management team must
complete a specific set of tasks if an employee quits, is fired, or is laid off. Paperwork must be
completed to ensure that the process was completed legally.
 Improving morale: Effective HR teams encourage company employees to do their best,
which contributes to the overall success of the company. Their work often involves rewarding
employees for good performance and creating a positive work environment.

stopped because nations collaborate. Organizations become less country
specific, and they cannot identify themselves with one country.
