Ingredients for building HR’s reputation through the currency of trust: An organizational odyssey of inspiring confidence in HRM systems

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

This research paper concentrates on exploring the elements of a strong HRM system: namely consistency, distinctiveness of messaging, and consensus of employee reactions. These latter two elements combine to form a hybrid reputational dimension for an organization's HR team. The results from respondents working in Spanish hotels reveal that a strong HRM system consisting of these interdependent elements does generate greater employee commitment and engagement. HR managers and leaders are therefore advised to add value by building their reputation in line with these trust-inducing principles.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
