The term ‘SME’ is broad, including a wide range of organisations from a one-man band to a company of 250 staff which may look similar to a large organisation in terms of structure and process. To consider what the future of HR may look like in SMEs, the 360 Biz team first look at the current HR models and approaches being adopted in smaller organisations. They then go on to consider what the insights from in-depth case study research with a wide range of SMEs could mean for the future, in particular what operating models could look like 10 years from now, whether the capability requirements of HR will change, and whether there are implications for HR career models. Joining them to have this discussion is an HR specialist from organisations like SEESA and Hambee, and Head of HR from Tsogo.
