Abstract
The paper presents an analysis and generalization of key trends in business development in the world and in the Russian Federation, as well as their impact on the functions of personnel management (HR) and training and development (T&D). It is shown that constant changes and their abrupt nature have led to the accumulation of contradictions and the formation of a systemic crisis, including in the field of working with people and their training. It is this crisis that leads to a situation of double personnel shortage, when a business cannot find candidates with the necessary competencies in the labor market. The purpose of the work is to formulate new content for the HR function through the study of key trends in business, as well as areas of development of the T&D function, aimed at solving the systemic crisis in HR. The analysis shows that it may consist in a systemic reassembly of the role and function of T&D, and most importantly, its functional reassignment from the HR function to satisfy the requests of the key business function for the implementation of changes, ensuring the goals of the company’s strategy with the necessary human and organizational resources. The T&D function should find a new purpose in ensuring constant business changes in the context of the need to maintain the operational function.
