Richard Ivey School Of Business: Pastoral Image

Montreal Gazette Dept: Human resources are part of this global mega-city and dramatic changes are taking place in this new landscape. Globalization is adding unforeseen complexities to HR, creating challenges as well as opportunities, and tremendous uncertainty, according to Montreal Gazette. Globalization has thrown a wrench into that solution: Companies in developing economies are now coming to Canada in their search for talent and in its early days, globalization was often referred to as the global village. That pastoral image doesn't match the highly competitive, fast-paced and lightning-speed environment of globalization today. A better comparison might be a global high-powered, fast-paced competitive mega-city that affects every function a company needs to succeed. Traditional HR thinking has been turned on its head, such as the labour shortage experts warned for years is imminent as Baby Boomers hit retirement age. "Traditionally, for at least 50 years, Canada has tended to rely on immigration to get people and we recruited from Europe and developing countries," says Jeffrey Gandz, professor and managing director of program design -- executive development at the Richard Ivey School of Business. As reported in the news.
