• HR Processes: Designed for the best selection, utilization, and development of employees.
• Factors Influencing HR: Both internal and external.
• Resistance to Change: Many reasons exist.
• Managing Change: Effective planning reduces resistance & ensures smooth transitions.
• Evolving Work Patterns: Businesses adapt their HR strategies in response.

Think of it this way: Imagine a soccer team. A good coach doesn't just pick anyone. They select the best players, train them, and make sure they play effectively.

• Selection: Like drafting the best players.
• Utilization: Ensuring they're playing in the right positions.
• Development: Offering training & opportunities for them to get even better!

🌍 Real-world example: Google is known for its rigorous hiring process. They don't just want to hire smart people, but those who'll fit into their culture and continue to grow with training & development.

Internal factors might include company culture, while external factors might be things like labor laws or market conditions.

🌍 Real-world example: A tech startup in Silicon Valley (internal factor: rapid innovation culture) might have different HR strategies than a century-old bank in Europe (external factor: strict labor laws).
