Human resources and change – here’s what to do
Useful contributions and analyses to better understand what is happening and how to better deal with new situations have been collected in a recently published book
Employment has changed over the last two years. In fact, the whole production system (and, more in general, the whole social system) has changed over the last two years. It is one of the consequences of the COVID-19 storm, which has radically transformed how we conceive human coexistence. A transformation that has affected – it could not have been otherwise – human relationships in factories and offices, too. This is the theme around which revolve the studies collected by Paola Frison and Luigi Spadarotto in Il futuro delle risorse umane. Come innovarne la gestione generando innovazione (The future of human resources. How to innovate its management and generate innovation) in a recently published book, which attempts to answer a specific question: how have the pandemic and its related economic and social transformations affected organisational choices related to human resources management? This issue is not restricted to the world of production, it actually touches a significant part of all our lives.
The book’s curators have asked some of the most important consultants and scholars on the topic to examine, from their own viewpoint, the links between human resources management, innovation and social change. This has given rise to a series of essays dealing with this complex question, as well as with the “overheated climate” dictated by the pandemic.
The book, then, includes some overarching themes, in order to frame its subject-matter (which comprises notions about innovation and human resources management), as well as some more specific topics, such as the changes that innovation and the different context in which we operate demand from human resources management, the role played by human resources managers when corporate innovation becomes necessary, the new mechanisms introduced for the selection of collaborators and other tools available, the links between “cultural diversity” and innovation.
Contributors to Frison and Spadarotto’s work have successfully met the challenge while always keeping into account the particular historical period we are living in, as well as its social, psychological, logistical and contractual consequences, resulting in a book that also represents an excellent tool to better deal with change in companies and factories.
