• Work within existing local systems—integrate global tools into local systems
• Create a strong corporate culture• Create a global network for system
development— global input is critical• Treat local people as equal partners in
system development• Assess common elements across
geographies• Focus on what to measure and allow
flexibility in how to measure• Allow for local additions beyond core
elements• Differentiate when necessary• Train local people to make good
decisions about which tools to use and how to do so
• Communicate, communicate, communicate!
• Dedicate resources for global HR efforts• Know, or have access to someone who
knows, the legal requirements in each country
TABLE 17–2 Summary of Best Global HR Practices
Do . . .• Try to do everything the same way
everywhere• Yield to every claim that “we’re
different”—make them prove it• Force a global system on local people• Use local people just for
implementation• Use the same tools globally, unless you
can show that they really work and are culturally appropriate
• Ignore cultural differences• Let technology drive your system
design—you can’t assume every location has the same level of technology investment and access
• Assume that “if we build it they will come”—you need to market your tools or system and put change management strategies in place
Don’t . . .
