This was caused mainly due to subprime lending, which in simpler terms mean that many of these financial institutions were unable to repay their creditors and depositors due to reduction in the value of their assets they were holding. Without getting into the details of how the financial crisis occurred due to some other factors such as subprime mortgages and property price appreciation, we can say that during this period there was a massive loss of confidence in the financial system globally, which not only affected the foundations of the economy of a country but also harmed the social and political structures of many of those countries affected directly or indirectly (Zagelmeyer and Gollan, 2012). This lead to the increase in demand, rise in unemployment, more debts and whole lot of other social and economic concerns for companies and governments. The relation of this crisis with human resource management (HRM) is relevant because it ultimately affects the way people are managed within organizations. As mentioned by many authors like Gunnigle et al (2013); Edwards & Rees (2011), the key functions of a human resource manager (HR) role is understood to be managing employees, such as recruitment, selection, pay and benefits, industrial relations and the HR function. The approach they take, the policies they implement and the practices they employ are what contribute to employment and unemployment figures. There are a number of factors that affect how the HR department acts, whether they change or implement new practices, as a result of the global financial crisis. Another issues at hand is that, it ha...
