Creating a habitat for the migrant manager

Article Abstract:

The globalization of business has led to frequent migration of managers. Their mobility has resulted to, and is simultaneously facilitated by, the unsuitability between people and jobs. This people-job mismatch is created by the lack of foresight among businesses to upgrade and retrain their employees. Thus, new policies are needed to provide further education of workers in the work environment itself. The resultant improved competence will create employability security which will provide the workforce the ability to perform required skills that are needed to enhance its future opportunities. Thus, a less constricting flow of human capital will be possible. The ensuing diversity of the workforce will require standardization of human resources management to ensure that movement of workers across boundaries will not be difficult.
