Overview: The paper highlights a number of significant challenges facing the Human Resource (HR) profession in the United States. This may come as a surprise to some who look to the US as an exemplar of best practice in HR. However, Kochan highlights the discrepancies which exist between the 'Best' and 'Worst' practices in many US based corporations and the high levels of dissatisfaction that many Americans feel with their employers. This has accompanied a breakdown in the implicit social contract whereby employees believed that loyalty and hard work would be rewarded with long-term employment and financial security.
