External Factor: Government Regulations
Federal and state workplace laws and regulations are external factors affecting human resource management that require human resources to ensure the company is in compliance. Regulations can influence how a company goes about hiring, training, compensating and even disciplining its workers, and a misstep could result in sanctions against the company or even lawsuits filed by employees, prospective employees, vendors and customers. An example is the Americans with Disabilities Act, which in many cases creates the need for companies to modify their office configurations or provide other reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities. Internal Factor: Level of Growth
An internal factor that impacts human resources is the company's rate of current and projected growth. Companies experiencing aggressive growth and rapid expansion may require its human resources department to focus on recruitment and staffing. More stagnant companies may place a greater focus on efforts on employee retention and improving the company's culture and workplace environment through upgrading job descriptions and enhancing compensation and fringe benefits programs.
