Implementation of such policies,
processes or standards may be directly managed by the HR function itself, or the function may indirectly
supervise the implementation of such activities by managers, other business functions or via third-party
external partner organizations.
In organizations, it is
important to determine both current and future organizational requirements for both core employees and the
contingent workforce in terms of their skills/technical abilities, competencies, flexibility etc. The
analysis requires consideration of the internal and external factors that can have an effect on
the resourcing
, development, motivation and
retention of employees and other workers.
External factors are those
largely out-with the control of the organization. These include issues such as economic climate and current
and future labor market trends (e.g., skills, education level, government investment into industries etc.).
On the other hand, internal influences are broadly controlled by the organization to predict, determine, and
monitor—for example—the organizational
culture, underpinned by management
style, environmental climate, and the approach to ethical and corporate social
responsibilities.
