Modern trends in human resource management in the czech chemical companies

Abstract

The aim of this research was to identify modern trends in HR management nowadays applied in corporate practice. The paper also states how these trends are applied by selected chemical companies in the Czech Republic. The interviewing scenario was compiled on the basis of a thorough literature review. The outcomes were obtained through the directed interviews with HR managers of the selected companies. The research outcomes show that the awareness of modern trends in HR management is relatively wide, but their implementation in practice is largely of a non-systematic character. The main limitation of this study is that it is based on responses from five companies only. The choice of companies was based on personal contacts as anonymous questioning often did not bring sufficient response. The paper also identifies the possibility of improving work with human resources within selected chemical companies in the Czech Republic. The findings can be used by HR managers as proposals on how to improve their work to achieve maximum possible effects for their company. As an experience that a systematic application of modern trends moves HR management to a completely different level.
