The recession can be over, but the new reality comes to the world of the business and Human Resources. The recession changed the behavior of the top management and it pushed Human Resources to offer new solutions. After many years of the constant growth, the HR had to deliver the initiatives to cut costs and to increase the performance of the staff.

The recession created new reality and the HR has to adjust its policies and procedures to become successful. The new reality is about an extreme cost control and it is about an extreme competition for the resources.

The new reality is about small and smart organization, who can handle big things. The times of the new multinational companies is almost finished, the organization will be flat, smaller and the time to react will be extremely quick. The margins will be low and HR will have to support the speed and efficiency even more.

The HR will have to develop new procedures for the new slim organization and the HR Department will have to slimmer as well. The HR Managers will have to design new efficient HR Processes as the managers can quickly decide and they can manage the resources of the organization.

The new reality will press HR to compete for the best HR practice and the policies will be more specialized in each organization. The people in HR will find their job more attractive as they will have a huge impact on the overall costs of the organization.

The money will be important again and the HR Professionals will learn to count dollars again.
