2. Which one will you suggest to your personnel managers as the head on an organization?
If I would be the head of BPC where I am working now, after the gathered comparison between HRM and SHRM I would strongly suggest to my
personnel manager to implement the SHRM. From the viewpoint of 21st century, the globalization has many implications for the institution that may
entail the diversity of cultures. The today’s era has to mount the expertise, mind set and capabilities that are needed to gain competitive edge on
global scale. I will recommend that the institution must put efforts to align the HR processes efficiently with institutional goal on broader perspective.
Last but not the least, HR must be on a continuous look out for creativity and innovation as it is known to be the key to success.
In 21st century, the institution may experience many challenges like; change management, conflict management, managing multi-generational
workforce, managing 5R’s, workforce diversity, globalization, striking work life balance, succession planning etc. It is my responsibility as a head to
increase the institution efficiency and effectiveness by adding value and gaining competitive edge over the other institution for a long-term survival
in complex and highly uncertain market education following the mission, vision and goal of Bulacan Polytechnic College.
