How e-HR has changed roles at NOKIA

Abstract

Human Resources (HR) today has been focusing on offering more value-added services to organisations through role transformation, efficiency, and the redefining of its roles, processes, and practices. With the advancement of Internet technology, HR is able to offer improved efficiency through e-HR and focuses on transforming its role to become a business partner. A successful e-HR implementation will strategically change all the components and the way HR is organised and administered. This implementation must support the realisation of the organisation/s HR strategy, and, most importantly, how HR will strategically position itself within the organisation. Often, in many cases, this is not being realised nor understood fully. This research examines e-HR implementation and discusses its relationship with HR transformation strategy. To achieve this objective, a literature review was conducted and survey results of Nokia's e-HR implementation were analysed. The findings of this research from the case study analyses will be concluded at the end of this thesis as a contribution to both academics and HR practitioners.
