EVOLUTION OF TRENDS IN HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: RETROSPECTIVE AND MODERNITY
Abstract
In this article, we have identified the evolution of key trends in managing human resources of business entities in a retrospective perspective and identified the main characteristics of modern approaches in this area. We have identified key changes related to HR analytics, digitalization of HR processes, the role of HR processes in ensuring sustainable development and social responsibility, HR management in a remote working environment, development of employee competencies and implementation of the principles of learning organizations, flexibility and adaptability of human potential, changes in approaches to assessing the effectiveness of HR management, diversity, equality and inclusion among staff, future skills of employees, staff well-being and mental health, ethical management of human resources, consideration of employee experience throughout their association with the organization, and talent management. From a methodological point of view, the study is based on a combination of several complementary approaches. The comparative-historical method allowed us to identify the transformation of key aspects of HR policies in time dynamics - from intuitive and straightforward approaches to a comprehensive, ethically motivated, strategically oriented and digitalized system that covers all stages of an employee's "journey" in an organization. A content analysis of modern scientific sources, analytical reports and industry reviews allowed us to identify the main current trends that determine the management of human resources. The systematic approach ensured a logical structuring of these trends by areas and the formation of a comparative table demonstrating a change in focus in human resource management practices. It is substantiated that modern trends form a new paradigm of human resource management based on data, continuous learning, holistic staff development and adaptation to the VUCA environment. In view of the above, we understand that the development of new models for managing the human resources potential of business entities requires not only updating the existing tools and approaches in this area but also rethinking the role of HR management in ensuring a holistic employee experience as a key value of organizations.
