Abstract

There have lately been rising interest relating to human resources (HR) in small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). This study focuses on agile and innovative human resource management (HRM) practices in 100 Finnish SMEs. Chief executive officers, HR directors, supervisors, and shop stewards were asked what kinds of agile/innovative HRM practices are present in their company. There are great expectations of SMEs in Finland because the country’s economic growth relies on them. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the more agile, innovative, and productive HRM practices that can nurture profitability and growth among SMEs.
