 Welcome to the final unit of Sailor.org's Introduction to Human Resources. To conclude your journey, you will take a look at how the field of HR is changing globally. This unit will also address current trends and challenges for today's HR department. Perhaps the most important issue regarding globalization involves the need for cultural sensitivity. You will learn how cultural differences can create miscommunications and even poor working relationships. For example, although American executives tend to prefer to get right down to business, this may insult their hosts in countries where initial emphasis is placed on relationship building. Also, a timely response to a challenging world can greatly impact a company's success and vitality in times of economic duress. Today's HR departments must think proactively and globally. At this point, you will probably want to go over the material you covered throughout the course. For example, pay special attention to the items you may have missed on your quizzes. Review the corresponding articles and lectures to help you remember the contents of the material. You may also want to review your notes, paying special attention to the definitions. When you're ready, take your final exam. You must score a 70 or more to pass and receive your certificate. Don't worry. You can retake the exam to improve your score. Congratulations and thanks for taking Sailor.org's Human Resources Management course.
