Abstract

The most precious assets of every organization are its human resource. These individuals come together to assist firms in realizing the firm's vision, and mission statement and achieve the organizations' objectives. There is overwhelming evidence in support of human resources as a key determinant of organizational success. This research article delves into the dynamic landscape of International Human Resource Management (IHRM), focusing on its current trends and associated challenges. In today's globalized world, organizations are increasingly expanding their operations across borders, necessitating a strategic approach to managing human resources on an international scale. Through an extensive review of the literature and empirical analysis, this article identifies key trends and scrutinizes the challenges faced by organizations in effectively managing their global workforces, such as cultural differences, legal and regulatory complexities, communication barriers, and the need for adapting HR policies to diverse contexts. By shedding light on these contemporary issues, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the intricacies involved in international HR management and provides insights for practitioners and scholars alike to navigate the complexities of managing human resources in a global context. The exploratory study reveals that international human resource management is faced with varying degrees of challenges; it shows that these trends and challenges have an impact on multinational corporation performance; it also reveals that cultural differences and environmental dynamics must be taken into consideration by human resource professionals.
