Migrant Workers Work Public Policy And Human Resource Management

Question: Discuss about the Migrant Workers Migrant Work, Public Policy And Human Resource Management. Answer: Primary purpose or focus of this article The issues that are conveyed through this paper are associated with the migrant workers who move from their home country to some other place in search of work, high wages or for better lifestyles. The policies for the workers along with the relationship between human resource management and relationships with industries of the immigrant workers are also the focus in this paper. Though migration is very evident but maximum of the time, it is unnoticed and the related issues such as the performances of the employees, the internal performances of the international organizations are overlooked (Taran and Geronomi 2003) The main issues in the article The main problems that arise due to them are the lowering down of pay; the problems faced the local workers due to the migrated workers and also the skills and trainings within the organization that are affected due to the immigrants. Emigrants who are not legally entering the new country with job assurances often are indulging into illegal or harmful works that are already avoided by the local workers. Another cause of these emigrant workforces is because presently the organizations are becoming international and because of that, they are sending their employees to their branches so that they can make inexpensive labour position in other country (McGovern 2007). However, the changing nature of the labour markets and their effect on the lives of workers are huge and as understood from this article they are as follows: The policies that are created for the benefits of the workers are often opposed because the immigrant workers as they are frequently eliminated from the profits and securities as those are only for the localities. Under the human resource management, the issues that come up are enrollment in the jobs, variety in managing and efficient management of the organization that is often connected with immigrant workers. Due to these immigrant workers, the local workers are getting deprived. Whereas, there are also those employees who are formally coming as emigrant workers but are under low paid and insecure work conditions. Evaluation of the reading From the above issues that came out from this paper it can be evaluated that migratory workers actually effect and hamper the work surrounding greatly and due to which both the emigrant worker as well as the policy makers and the human resource managements gets affected. It is also found out that there are also emigrant workers who visit other countries for a limited time to work because their country is not allowing them for a permanent stay. Emigrant workers on contractual basis are found mainly in Asia and Middle East whereas Singapore is an extraordinary country that motivates efficient and skilled workers to reside permanently in their country (Shah 2006).Thus, the governments inclined towards significant political hurdles in releasing limitations on labour worldwide than they do in liberalizing foreign dealings and investment (Athukorala 2006). Yes, I do agree with the facts provided in this article. However, the strength of this article that I found out is how the issues are brought into focus that the problems that the local workers face when emigrant workers come as a competitor. Nevertheless, there is a huge limitation also because nothing has been stated about how the emigrant worker survives away from home, being lonely struggling to adjust in a different culture, how their own personal struggle mixes with the crisis they are facing in their professional world.
