Key Note Presentation by Prof Sattar Bawany on 'The Role and Future of HR' NATIONAL HRDF CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION 2014 4-5 November 2014, Borneo Convention Centre, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia “HR PROFESSIONALS: THE CHALLENGE OF TODAY & THE VISION OF TOMORROW” Overview The practice of human resources management has evolved dramatically over the past ten years. Some might even argue that those changes are sufficient to satisfy today’s business requirements. But will they be enough to meet the critical challenges of tomorrow? There are an incredible number of pressures on today's organisations. To name a few: environmental pressures such as increasing globalization, rapid technological change, and tougher competition; organizational changes such as new organizational alliances, new structures and hierarchies, new ways of assigning work, and a very high rate of change; changes in the workforce, including employees' priorities, capabilities, and demographic characteristics. Within these pressured organisations, there is a need for (and opportunity for) the human resource function to play a critical role in helping organisations navigates through these transitions. In order to play this role, however, HR will have to increase its real and perceived value.
