Introduction:
Companies are going global in todays society and a very big issue is
the adaptation it goes. Human Resources departments are affected by US
labor laws when companies are going abroad. The Society of Human
Resource Management (SHRM), mentions that companies have what is
known as HR global strategies and practices. The rapid rise of companies
into the global economy has led to a greater interest and demands in the
developing of strategies for companies human resources. The main issues of
Human Resources abroad are: adapting to a rapidly changing worker profile,
understanding the subtleties of workers qualifications and retaining and
engaging a changing workforce. According to a couple of articles, only a
small percentage of companies can be successful abroad, it is important for
a company to understand the culture, values and regulation differences in
other countries. An example of this is how labor rates vary from country to
country and how this affects the company. Some questions that going global
may cause are, Can you over work employees? How is overtime treated in
specific countries? What are other countries custom to (lunch breaks, work
hours)?
The problem is the challenges companies face in regards to the different
policies in human resources when the company goes abroad. This is a
problem that is being faced more in todays society because of the amount
of companies going global and challenges must be established in order to
address them.
Knowing the main issue this are some questions research will answer:
1. What should a company do to avoid conflict on human resources issues
abroad?
2. Should companies invest in International adaptation programs for their
employees?
3. Which labor laws are considered when a company is making business
abroad?
4. What are the laws for expatriates?
5. What are the positive and negative impact does consumer privacy
have on U.S. businesses and government globally?
