Epilogue
You’ve done it!
This book is meant to be an introduction to a field, Human Resources Management, that is both complex and in constant evolution. Every major business trend points to a growth in the importance of HRM for organizations. Regardless of the career path that you choose, you will have to handle some level of HR tasks and your success will in large part be determined by how well you execute these tasks (e.g., hiring your executive assistant, training your staff, etc.). We encourage you to further deepen your knowledge of HR by taking additional HR courses or simply by keeping up-to-date on the topic.
We leave you with this video produced by an HR consultancy, Visier. It drives the point home that HR is at the core of the most significant moments in organizations. HR matters when things are rough, when things are great, and also in between these two extremes; the video is entitled: “People moments are HR moments”.
We, Nora and Stéphane, wish you all the best with your respective careers!
