Agiles Human Resource Management

Abstract

There is a burgeoning interest in agile HRM in the current business world as many organizations have steered their strategies and practices for agile practices in many areas in their organizations such as project management, operations management, human resource management, and beyond. Employees want more flexibility and autonomy when working, and they want to recognize their hard work and effort. Nowadays, there is a fast-growing trend to apply this agility to the human resource management context. Treating employees as individuals is a major part of Agile HRM. There are two different Agile HRM perspectives in practice as ‘HRM for Agile’ and ‘Agile for HRM’. Most of the time, practitioners refer to ‘HRM for agile’ to explain the design and implementation of the HRM systems that facilitate the agile implementation in the organization. ‘Agile for HRM’ refers to agile principles and practices which are applied to the operations of the HRM functions.
