Excerpted from the Brazil Career Guide
Human resources is a fast-growing
professional operation in Brazil for a number of reasons. First, as
most companies move to performance-related pay as a means of
stimulating higher performance, the need for professionals with the
know-how to implement detailed and reliable performance appraisal
systems has increased the demand for HR professionals and added
weight to HR departments within organizational structures.
Second, as mergers and buy-outs
become more and more common in many sectors, companies and groups
have needed to invest more in HR technologies, staff and
methodologies so as to acquire the ability to integrate very
different business cultures and create a cohesive organizational
structure and identity. HR departments in Brazil, particularly in
multinational companies, have essentially become "organizational
architects" upon which the organization as a whole depends to create
smooth transitions.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
