Abstract
Today, the management of human resources represents an important constituent for the long term success of companies. In an environment of globalization, companies have to continuously adapt their products, and human capital. Human resources help the company in their choice of direction, identify the actual resources and help plan the future. HR actively participates in the company's success and have increasing responsibilities in the present context.
European companies understand the fundamental role of an effective management of human resources. As multinational companies are present in several countries, they have to adapt their global strategy and consider the different cultures in each country. Effective HR strategies like organizational alignments are important factors of success. How can one effectively manage the human capital? HR have to work on the succession planning, work engagement, capability and employee capacity in order to transform the human capital to an competitive advantage.
During this presentation regarding human resources in Europe, I will try to illustrate my different arguments by giving some examples about the company EADS. In my point of view, EADS is a good example of a successful European implantation although it has had to manage some difficulties in the past.
