Staffing recruitment and selection of INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENTAparrajithaAriyadasa
In staffing in international business, HR managers must determine when or where to expatriation. Expatriate workers are frequently assigned to key positions in overseas operations. Human resource managers must also decide on the issue of compensation. The compensation of expatriate workers must be examined along with compensation of local workers and the compensation of workers in the home country. Differences in compensation packages have significant implications on staffing success, expatriate performance and business performance. HR managers must also address the issue of repatriation. Repatriation happens when the worker needs to come back to the home country, usually to continue working for the company. Repatriation also happens when the expatriate worker retires. These issues have significant effects on the perspectives and performance of expatriate workers and local workers, and the effectiveness of IHRM in staffing.
In this presentation, we will understand the meaning and factors of industrial relations, analyze the three aspects of industrial relations, meaning and functions of trade unions and discuss the influence of trade unios on business and human resource management.

16. How It Is Different from
Domestic HRM
• Domestic HRM is done at national level and IHRM is done
at international level.
• Domestic HRM is concerned with managing
employees belonging to one nation and IHRM is concerned
with managing employees belonging to many nations
(Home country, host country and third country employees)
• Domestic HRM is concerned with managing limited number
of HRM activities at national level and IHRM has concerned
with managing additional activities such as
expatriate management.
• Domestic HRM is less complicated due to less influence
from the external environment. IHRM is very complicated
as it is affected heavily by external factors such as cultural
distance and institutional factors.
18. ISSUES IN IHRM
• Managing International Assignments
• Employee and Family Adjustments
• Selecting the right person for foreign
assignments
• Culture and Gauge
• Language and Communication
19. EFFECTIVE IHRM
IMPLEMENTATION
The following checklist identifies some of the critical
decisions/actions required in the formulation and
implementation of an effective IHR strategy.
1. As certain the current and intended nature of
international operations in the organisation (multi-
domestic, international, global or transnational?)
2. Determine the extent to which HR policies and
practices should be standardised or localised in
accordance with overall organisational strategy.
3. Assess the extent to which local cultural, social,
political, economic and legal factors will impinge on
any attempts to apply standard HR policies if
integration is a key factor in organisational strategy.
20. 4. Ensure a computerised database of global
human resources is used if integration is
desired.
5. Work with the senior management team to
identify the competencies required to achieve
global organisational objectives.
6. Work with national HR and line managers to
formulate IHR policies and practices in the key
areas of sourcing, development and reward
which will embed a transnational mindset in
the organisation.
