Abstract

Advances in technology and changes in economic factors have resulted in a steady shift towards greater flexibility in working and employment patterns. Argues that this is not a new phenomenon, but the changes do mean that the human resource management function within an organization does need to recognize and implement the changes that are necessary to ensure that organizations and individuals get the support they need to cope with such change.
