The role of human resources is dealt with in many different ways
across the world. The challenge for an organisation moving in to
the international arena is to be flexible enough to respect the
individual HR function of different countries, whilst building a
global benefits and HR strategy that incorporates all.
Multinationals face the dilemma of
whether to control benefits and rewards centrally or to keep them
controlled locally. The advantage of the latter is that regional
differences and local customs will always be taken in to
consideration, without damaging the existing, successful employee
relationships of various different countries.
Individual organisations now have to
come to a conclusion about what will benefit everyone and which
strategies will help achieve the overall goals of the business,
globally.
