Brief definition of International Human Resource Management

International Human Resource Management (HRM) encompasses the comprehensive field of human resources management with a focus on internationally active organizations, their teams and individual employees abroad. In addition to administrative activities, such as applicant management, it also includes strategic aspects (recruiting new, suitable Employees, personnel planning in international companies, personnel development).

International human resource management is considerably more time-consuming than HR work in one's own country because different foreign company locations are often associated with increased administrative work.

Your training for effective international personnel management

National HRM processes are not easily transferable to international HR management. HR managers of internationally operating companies need know-how regarding country-specific characteristics (such as guidelines, cultural and legal aspects). In this traininghow to develop a holistic HR management concept that enables successful cross-border cooperation.
