People-centered human resource management places the well-being, needs, and aspirations of employees first in organizational policies and practices to make sure that there is overall success. It's about not looking at your employees as just resources for getting the work done but rather cultivating an atmosphere that increases employee satisfaction by treating them in a more humane, if not philanthropic, manner. The approach has been popularized since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, where employee satisfaction started to decline due to several factors, including boredom in the working environment, dissatisfaction with work-at-home policies, financial crisis, and job insecurity. In such a context, retaining better employee satisfaction required organizations to change their focus and give more emphasis on valuing the workforce as a productive resource. The level of care an organization shows its employees directly influences its success and profitability. This shift reflects a broader recognition that employees are not just assets, but essential stakeholders whose engagement and satisfaction are crucial to organizational success (ICEHRM, n.d.). By prioritizing employee motivation, emotional well-being, and inclusivity, organizations are better positioned to navigate the complexities of modern workplaces (Forbes, 2022).

 

Modern-day human resources are challenged in multiple ways that become driven through rapid technological advancement, globalization, and complexities within the legal realms of HR compliance. We focus on three major challenges in this blog: workforce migration, employee equality, and the integration of employee ideas within the organizational atmosphere and evolution by their skill development against advancing technology. You will find herein a broad discussion on how these challenges have emerged in the current world, the solutions available by applying people-centered HRM principles, and what results organizations can achieve with the help of these solutions.
