Hi all
I need 4 different ways market demands will change the way HR department will do business.
Also I need to know 4 indicators that can be used to predict the future market and supply trends and how they will affect HR management

From United Arab Emirates, Dubai
I will try 4 different ways the market will change HRM:
1. A keener look will be taken at judging competencies. It will be important
-- you know, right man for the right job.
2. Traditional thoughts will find a pride of place in policy-making: pride
against market globalization.
3. Lesser dependance on manpower: automation/IT will be resorted to in
a greater way to ease problems in people management.
4. Outsourcing of several core HR and allied functions (like facilities
management etc.) to help create en fin virtual organizations.
I might be wrong; it was an exercise of my imagination (Mick Cope says imagination is intelligence having fun. www.mickcope.com)

MICRO DATA AND REAL LIFE SITUATIONS.

AS a broad guideline, the Human Resource Market is affected by

1.Participation in the labor force

FOR INDICATORS, LOOK AT THE NATIONAL ECONOMIC

INDICATORS, WHERE THE INDICES ARE PUBLISHED

2.Supply , the demographic
