Answer should include coverage of the following key points:
•Importance of the function - all levels of the business need to recognize IHRM as being critical to the success of the global enterprise, as a valued part of becoming more competitive.
•Development of IHRM managers - important for IHR managers to have experience in line management and in global assignments as well. Need to develop a broader perspective on the global enterprise. Assist with strategic management, develop IHR policies for operations around the world, and hire and develop highly productive workforces in multiple countries (developing the strategic IHR manager).
•Development could involve - assigning HR generalists to overseas regional posts for two to three year periods. Assigning repatriated IAs from any function into IHR in an operating division or HQ - overseas experience adds credibility and can utilize their insights and experiences. Assigning graduate HR degree employees to overseas posts, perhaps pay them as locals.
•Education - from a formal perspective, increasing the number of HR professionals in the firm with postgraduate qualifications (it may be IHR units as part of a Masters degree as there are limited degrees available) assists in gaining more in-depth knowledge and skills.
•Certification - pursue the option of getting a number of IHR staff certified by the Society for Human Resource Management and the Human Resource Certification Institutes (they have identified the 'body of knowledge' for IHR). Possessing this credential shows a high degree of knowledge, and credibility within the organization, in this relatively new area of HRM.
