The Future: Globalization and New Roles for HRD

Abstract

The problem and the solution. Globalization, an inevitable and irreversible force, has significantly affected the workplace and the community, in ways both good and bad. Human resource development's (HRD's) response and impact has been minimal and at a mostly micro level. This article discusses seven key macro areas in which HRD can maximize the beneficial elements of globalization and limit its dehumanizing forces, namely, (a) political development, (b) economic development, (c) organizational and workplace learning, (d) education and vocational training, (e) global leadership development, (f) technology and knowledge, and (g) environment sustainability.
