The HRM environment consists of external factors like the social, technological, economic, political, and demographic landscape as well as internal factors within the organization such as its structure, culture, HR systems, and policies. Analyzing this environment helps organizations take a proactive rather than reactive approach to ensure survival. Externally, factors such as the social norms and values, technological advances, economic conditions, political laws and regulations, and demographic shifts can impact HR practices. Internally, the organizational structure, culture, internal policies, and professional bodies that regulate HR functions also influence HRM.
