3. knowledge, skills and abilities have to be deployed and used to the maximum effect if the organisation is to create value.
Important PointImportant Point
• It is therefore too simplistic to say that
strategic human resource management
stems from the business strategy.
Strategic HRM and human capital management
• A number of writers have argued that strategic HRM
and human capital management (HCM) are one and the same thing.
Reason………..Reason………..
• Organisational level - because strategies involve decisions about key goals, major policies and the allocation of resources.
• Focus - strategies are business-driven and focus on organisational effectiveness
• This argument has been based on the fact that both HRM in its proper sense and HCM rest on the assumption that people are treated as assets rather than costs and both focus on the importance of adopting an integrated and strategic approach.
Contd…..
• Human capital management (HCM)
therefore informs and in turn is shaped by strategic
HRM but it does not replace it.
Traditional HR Versus Strategic HR
Establishing Goals & Objectives
• Goals should be:
i. Specific
ii. Measurable
iii. Flexible
The Five P’s Model of SHRM
1. Philosophy Statements of how organization values and treats
employees; essentially culture of the organization
2. PoliciesExpressions of shared values and guidelines for
action onemployee-related business issues.
3. ProgramsCoordinated and strategized approaches to
initiate, disseminate, and sustain strategic
organizational change efforts necessitated by
strategic business needs.
Contd….
4. Practices– HR practices motivate behaviors that
allow individuals to assume roles consistent with organization’s strategic objectives.
5. Processes– Continuum of participation by all
employees in specific activities to facilitate formulation and implementation of other activities.
Benefits of a Strategic Approach to HR
• Facilitates development of high-quality workforce through focus on types of people and skills needed
• Facilitates cost-effective utilization of labor, particularly in service industries where labor is generally greatest cost
• Facilitates planning and assessment of environmental uncertainty, and adaptation of organization to external forces
• There is not single HRM strategy that will deliver success in all situations. Organisations need to define a strategy which is unique to their own situation in terms of context, goals, and the demands of organisational stakeholders.
