HR Challenges in the 21st Century The greatest challenge is matching the 'existing job opportunities' with the ever rising population's demand.
Through technological advancements there are alternative ways of doing things than by labour. On the other hand, new technology has created a demand for highly technically skilled employees.
The irony is whereas jobs shrink and population expands, technological innovation expands at an even higher rate, enabling organizations to discover newer and more efficient ways of doing things.
As such, there is mismatch between rising opportunities, technological expansion and new enlightened labour force striving to join the labour market.

HR Challenges in the 21st Century I think the challenges include trusting employees to a fault. More employees should be trained on how to do different jobs or how to operate different machines so one person cannot feel over-important or try to boss the work place.
Another challenge is that HR persons don't make serious enquiries about the person they want to hire.

The Current Global Economy Appears to Be a Major Challenge to Organizations and Jobsekers The greatest challenge is mismatch between the uncontrolled population growth and the existing job opportunities. With an increased population growth there is an increased demand.
The economic crisis now a days our world confronts is also another threat to the human resource. As the economy decline the demand for human resource also declined which results in job cut.
Technological advancement also contributed to the challenge with the human resource. As technology excels it is obvious that it simplified the work. This in turn reduced the demand for human resource because a work to be accomplished using many human resource is expected to be accomplished by few human resource using the technology.

HR Software / Organization Charts Succession planning is definitely the greatest challenge for HR. The ability to create a rich talent pool of employees will decide the rise and fall of organizations.
Many organizations have already switched gears and use technological tools such as HR software, org chart softwares, transition manager, succession planning suite to overcome the HR challenges.

The Biggest HR Challenge in the Present Century The biggest challenge in the coming years is to manage the aspirations of the human resources and their skill sets given the economic scenario in the Euro zone and the USA. This would require a global effort so that the adverse situation can be turned into an opportunity. The center of gravity is shifting from the developed world to the developing one and free societies of India and Brazil with their young populations will have a very significant role to play. It is up to them how best to maximize their position.

HR Challenges for the Upcoming Decades Mindsets don’t change – minds do! This places a phenomenal responsibility in the decades ahead on HR managers worldwide of measuring up to the changing and challenging HR demands of internal stakeholders, doing away with yesterday’s theories and paradigms and aligning today’s HR needs and determinants. This is both an art and a science!

Learn to Live Without Them.. The way we organize ourselves to achieve a common purpose is evolving, isn't it? We who seek satisfaction in productive work can't depend solely on employers.
There are new ways and there will be better ways for us to find adequate compensation for our contributions. And, too many of these large organizations have harmed people and other living things.

Ethical HR Role In the current tough scenario, the Human Resource Management Role is far from easy to perform, because most of the organisation wants to reduce the number of employees, so the HR people are trying to find out their mistakes to fire them, in stead of motivating and giving training to employees.
I don't know if it's ethical or not for a HR manager.

HR and Ethics @chakradhar: HR should be responsible for engaging and encouraging employees to be the best they can be at all times. Employees also need to be fully trained to ensure they can perform their job.
I would suggest that the decision to dismiss an employee should be and is usually made by management, not HR.
While HR may implement management decisions, part of its role is to recommend alternatives to dismissal (i.e. ensure discipline is progressive). Some incidents or behaviors may be so serious to warrant immediate dismissal.

HR Challenges for the Coming 5-10 Years Given the pace of change particularly with the advent of it, it would be a real challenge to undo what we know well but is no longer relevant, and learn something new that that relevant.
We should not continue to do things efficiently which should not be done at all.

HR in the Years Ahead The world challenges resulting from global geo-eco-political warfare is raising its ugly tentacles for corporate and management contributions to society. And the first affected is the internal customer.
This demands a reformed, transformed HR approach to rationalizing and revolutionizing HR thinking. Some of yesteryear’s theories are a misfit today.
Inequity/discrimination on the bases of gender, origin, race, religion, must stop forthwith. This calls for a psychological and physiological contract rather than just an employment contract and the worker has to be guaranteed a life-time working relationship. This entails an all-time learning for them which the employer must see as an investment and not an expenditure.

Biggest Challenge in HR To be frank, in a country like India where there is enough talent and lots of manpower, the greatest problem of HR is balancing the demand/supply ratio, as there are more people than vacancies suiting there potential and capabilities.
The challenge for the HR manager would be to get the work done by the person up to his capabilities at the price (package) he has been offered. While on the other hand because of psychologic tendencies of humans, they always compare and are greedy and as a result feel undervalued.
