Section 4 | Trends in Human Resources Management Systems |
Long-term employment practices are generally supported by both employers and employees at present, and will be supported by many employers, although with partial modifications. However, the number of regular employees placed under long-term employment is expected to decrease for some time to come. Human resources management systems for regular employees are becoming increasingly individualized and diverse. There is a trend developing where differential promotion is starting at an earlier stage, screening, therefore, is expected to become more stringent in the future. Due to the importance of personnel evaluation systems in performance-based systems, it is important to gain the assent of workers by clarifying evaluation criteria and enhancing disclosure systems. Enhancing evaluation and treatment of non-regular employees, including conversion to regular employees, will also contribute to business. This is achieved through maintaining or improving motivation for working among non-regular employees and making greater use of their abilities. |
