Few factors affecting the choice between convergence and divergence of HR policies are:
1. Diversity in workforce
2. Government policies
3. Trade unions, local customs
4. Cultural differences
5. Competitive advantage
If divergence means: the act of moving away in different directions from a common point or " having a difference of opinions / "a growing divergence of opinions"
and if this is related to HR policies I think about the following example
In principle every employee likes to receive a fair salary related to the job weight / responsibilities.If not, this could demotivate him/her and leading to tons of protests, rumors and different opinions.
So it is very important that - for example - a job grid and a salary structure is well defined, and in balance in order to avoid that employees for the same position, for the same job get a different salary.Factors affecting such a choice are:
1.a clear organization chart,
2 well defined job description,
3 clear job evaluation process
4. frequent salary surveys to measure and define the minimum and maximum salary band of the function.
I hope this will give you an answer
The extent to which there are well-defined local norms.
The degree to which an operating unit is embedded in the local
environment.
The strength of the flow of resources – finance, information and people
Between the parent and the subsidiary.
The orientation of the parent to control.
The nature of the industry – the extent to which it is primarily a domestic
industry at local level.
The specific organizational competencies, including HRM, that are critical
for achieving competitive advantage in a global environment.
