18.3: Discussion- Global Human Resources
With the advent of technology like email and video conferencing, the world has become very small. Global companies are not a new thing, but their employees’ ability to converse and interact has increased a thousandfold. And that’s a great thing! It also means that HR departments are getting more and more experience working within the labor laws and regulations of other countries and cultures.
Discussion Prompt
As an HR manager for a company that operates in global markets, you are being charged with arranging a contract employee in Italy. This person will perform landlord services for a couple of buildings your company owns. Review a few online sources and determine a list of things that you need to address when contracting with this employee. No need to dig deeply into Italian labor law (it’s pretty extensive!). Then, review the lists and notes of two of your classmates.
