Answer question about human resource management
COURSEWORK – Questions
“If security no longer comes from being employed, then it must come from being employable. In a post – entrepreneurial era in which corporations need flexibility to change and restructuring is a fact of life, the promise of very long-term employment security would be the wrong one to expect employers to make. But employment security – the knowledge that today’s work will enhance the person’s value in terms of future opportunities – that is a promise that can be made and kept. Employability security comes from the chance to accumulate human capital – skills and reputation – that can be invested in new opportunities as they rise.” (Kanter, 1989, p321)
