Adapting HRM Strategies to the Challenges of Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management

Logistics and SCM systems are integral to the business environment of any industry and are particularly important in a globalized world. SCM is a solution that combines the processes of sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution, which helps achieve organizational goals such as increasing product quality and customer service. Cultural diversity, regulatory stances, transportation disruptions, and geopolitical tensions pose a global scale challenge. These challenges demand the strategic alignment of human resource management (HRM) and SCM. Conventional Human Resource Management (HRM) practices fail to address the dynamic requirements of international supply chains because of their typically responsive nature. In contrast, strategic HRM proactively plans to meet business requirements and aligns key functions, such as talent acquisition, training, employee engagement, and performance management with organizational goals. This study’s findings demonstrate the significance of talent and leadership management practices in dealing with SCM challenges. The results encourage the implementation of integrated HRM-SCM practices to improve operational efficiency, foster organizational development, and achieve sustainability in a highly connected world.
