Abstract
Human resource management (HRM) in an aging society presents unique issues, and this chapter examines some of the most significant ones, such as labor shortages, skill gaps, and managing a workforce that spans generations. The global trend toward remote work, the increased emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and the need to keep employees engaged despite change all add layers of complexity to these problems. It goes on to explore unique HRM techniques to address these issues, with a particular emphasis on reimagining the work-life balance and building resilient organizational cultures. The chapter also emphasizes the novel chances that arose, giving readers crucial insights into the developing HRM scene in China.
