Discussion #1 Cite three ways that global HR differs from domestic HR, specifically in relation to Total Rewards. Give examples, and cite at least one source from the class. Respond to at least one colleague. As discussed in this weeks learning resources, in a global HR environment, almost all human relations management concepts can be applied as they are in a domestic manner. However, a global setting allows some aspects of the total rewards approach to be maneuvered. As an example, if a overseas office needs a new role implemented, the HR/Recruitment team will have to find someone who is attracted to the rewards that can be offered. Many might find the offering of new language skills, company provided housing, and a new environment/exposure to different cultures to be rewards and can be leveraged as part of the total rewards program to attract employees for overseas roles (university of Minnesota, 2016.). This is not something that could be done domestically; however it could be done in a relative standpoint if the domestic HR has a role in different states. This weeks reading has also helped uncover that while English is the universal business language, global HR may be able to add language training and education to employees who want to display their ability to speak in business language, but also use their skills in social and home settings in any country they may live in. Having this training available to employees in the US and in other countries allows them to expand socially and professionally. This is an offering of total rewards that would attract employees as it allows them to improve their knowledge and abilities and also makes them a stronger asset for the company if they do multinational business dealings.
This is not a common offering in US domestic total rewards programs that I have seen for private businesses. Global HR also has the ability to promote diverse work environments compared to domestic in the sense that multinational businesses can incorporate different aspects of culture into their operations than a business that is domestic only. This is something that can be leveraged by Global HR total rewards programs. Newer generations entering the workforce are more educated and diverse than any generations before them, and may find a highly diverse work environment to be more rewarding and enticing to commit to than a domestic business offering that has been stagnant in diversification (Cilluffo and Cohn, 2019) University of Minnesota.
