Abstract:
This study examined contemporary issues and their complexities faced by human resource managers in managing organizations. The study reviewed the literature on some of the foremost challenges confronting today's organizations. The contemporary issues posing challenges to the functions of the human resource manager include workforce/workplace diversity, legislative issues, technology, workforce training and development, globalization, leadership development, attracting and retaining top talent, benefits and compensation, health and safety, and management changes. The study concluded that to manage the complexities of these challenges in the organization, the human resource manager must build a standard structure that could manage the diverse workforce issues, adhere to legislative laws and make training and development a priority. This study indicates that relevant and appropriate HR strategies, policies, and procedures should be developed and implemented for effective human resource management in organizations.
