According to Welbourne, “Human resource management (HRM) is a field that historically has been inundated with paperwork and bureaucracy. Thus, the promise of e-HRM was to help streamline core HR process, reduce costs, and improve efficiency” (p. 1). If the manager wants to follow the contemporary tendency, he cannot help drawing much attention to the particular keys – HRIS, e-competencies management, e-learning, e-recruiting – definitely these milestones dignify the right approach in HRM. In general, we may separate out the e-training that comprises a wide range of methods which become in hand powerful tools of efficient management. Next comes a discussion of virtual room, Google App, video conference, webinars and gamification.
Webinars, real-time benchmarking and social networking combining with a traditional teaching turn out as the typical approaches for the most of the managers. Especially IT firms are looking for the HR manager with this competence – like a sensible application of these methods. The point is that many departments follow the principle of agile methodology. Besides these firms, being the probationers in extreme programming, require efficient and professional training related to the e-HRM. According to Welbourne, “These Fast HRM tools and processes, using a development cycle based on extreme programming, are examples of moving from e-HRM to Fast HRM” (p. 2).
