3.0 Literature review

Human resource Management is a managerial process which ensures the individual goals, organizational goals and societal goals through coordinated ways in order to increase productivity with low labor and cost. The main purpose of the HRM is to convert Human being to Human Capital. HRM as the Policies and Practices involved in carrying out the People or human resource aspects of a management position, including recruiting, screening, training, rewarding and appraising(Dessler.2007).Modern Concept of HRM: The overall aim of modern Human resource management is to ensure that the organization is able to achieve its objectives through its staff. In order to reach its objectives an organizations need not only qualified staff but also effective and efficient system as well as access to an effective allocation of financial resources. Institutional development therefore involves not only putting the right person in the right place at the right time, but also that the organization provides a conductive and effective work environment, and systems and that the organization has access to adequate financial resources.Importance of HRM: HRM helps a company to achieve its objective from Objective, Facilitates professional growth, Better relations between union and management, helps an individual to work in a team/group, Identifies person for the future, allocating the jobs to the right person, Improves the economy.The word 'strategy can be understood as a long range direction and scope of an organization. It provides a framework to achieve organizational goals and objectives. It develops a grand plan about how the company is going to achieve the desired result and how to compete with other rival firms. It also focuses on how the resources are employed effectively and efficiently.In the light of it, Human resource strategy can be defined as a process which helps management anticipate and manage the rapidly increasing changes. It is concerned with long range direction and scope of HR activities in the organization. It is broad action plan designed to accomplish the goals and objectives of human resource management function in the organization. Moreover, it is concerned with establishing relationship between long range HR direction and business strategy. It involves philosophy that people are managed in an organization and they are integrated with business strategy.It can be assessed that HR strategy is primarily concerned with the philosophy of managing and mobilization human resources in the organization to achieve the long range business strategy an management goals. Human resource strategy is based on:* Managing HR strengths in the organization* Managing competitive capabilities of HR* Translating people into personnel policies and practices* Integrating people with business strategyObjectives of HR StrategyAccording to Gary Dessler Objectives of HR Strategy are as follows:1. To use various mechanism to build healthy two-way communication.2. To screen out potential managers whose values are not people oriented3. To provide highly competitive salaries and pay-for-performance incentives.4. To guarantee to the greatest extent possible for fair treatment and employ security for all employees.5. To institute various promotion-from-within activities aimed at giving employees every opportunity to fully utilize their skill and gifts at work.

Importance of HR strategy: The HR Strategy helps to employees to decide common daily decisions as they can see, if the request is fully aligned with the HR Strategy and the organization will benefit from such a solution. The HR Strategy sets the vision, but it is fulfilled by many daily small decisions and the strategy helps to set the decision process. The HR Strategy is important for the communication with the managers about their requests and their proposals to improve HR Services. The HR Team can demonstrate the way the department goes and how Human Resources will deal with the individual request or the individual feedback on provided services. The HR Strategy helps to build the team spirit of Human Resources as it provides the platform for the communication in HR and it provides the basic playground for the discussions about the future of Human Resources. The story of the HR Strategy has to be attractive as it builds a common understanding to the key words in the strategy and the HR employees do interpret them the same way. The HR Strategy takes many rounds of discussions to evolve, but the result can be amazing and when the HR Management Team does not allow the HR Strategy story to disappear, the investment returns quickly.Business strategy: A business strategy is the means by which it sets out to achieve its desired ends (objectives). It can simply be described as a long-term business planning. Typically a business strategy will cover a period of about 3-5 years (sometimes even longer).Modern concept of Business strategy: Strategizing is much more than just visioning, forecasting, planning and reviewing. In the new rapidly changing economy, all important tasks of strategy have been redefined as issues of implementation. These days strategizing is concerned with the match between the internal capabilities of the company and its external environment. The modern subject of business strategy is a set of analytic tools & techniques for understanding better, and so influencing, a company's position in its actual and potential marketplace.Importance of Business Strategy: The success of any good enterprise is based on the measures that are laid out by the various stakeholders. In commerce, business strategy is important for the achievement of the objectives set. In a commercial setting, the main aims normally revolve around making lots and lots of profits, growing and expanding, and most importantly, diversifying. These goals must be achieved for business success in any flourishing industry. There are very many business strategies that can be utilized by new or old ventures in order to compete healthily in the market. Most corporations that have taken the market by storm normally have a history of good and functional strategies that have been set and adhered to strictly. Therefore, it is important that once they have been drawn and enacted, the measures are implemented and put into the system.Relationship between HR strategy and Business Strategy:Human Resource Planning and Strategic planning is a step-by-step process of determining how to pursue the organization's long-term goals with the resources expected to be available. It is a systematic approach of analyzing the opportunities and threats in the environment to enhance the efficiency and organizational productivity. It is the name given to the sense making activity which includes the function of goal setting and strategy formulation.On the other hand, Human resource planning is the estimation of future demand for and supply of human resources for the accomplishment of stated organizational goals. HR planning consists all the activities of human resource management such as forecasting of HR, collecting information, policy making, recruitment, training and development, motivation and development of human resource in the organization. These activities help prepare and HR plan whereby right number and kind of people are being forecasted.These terms establish a close relationship as one cannot be separated from another. They are correlated with each other because HR planning is an integral part of the overall corporate plan. Hence, the relationship between HR planning and strategic planning can be depicted under the following aspects:1. Follower relationship of HR planThis relationship depicts that an HR plan is an integral part of the overall corporate plan of the organization. HR plan is based upon the overall objectives and strategies of the company. It is prepared by following the guidelines by the overall corporate plan of the organization. Hence, it is tailored to meet the needs of the overall mission, vision and objective of the company. Moreover, this relationship explains that HR plan is derived from the overall corporate plan of the organization.2. Partner relationship of HR planWhen the HR plan and strategic plan are formulated simultaneously, it is supposed that they have partner relationship. Under it, it is assumed that HR and HR manager are considered as a valuable resource in the organization. And it ensures that the employees are fully participated in strategy implementation. Moreover, implications of HR are considered in the formulation stage of strategic plan. The primary purpose of this relationship is to link HR activities with strategic plan in order to achieve organizational goals. It also ensures that HRM activities are considered before formulating the corporate plan.According to American society for Training and development identified nine human resource areas. They are:1.

Union/Labor relation Personnel Research and Information system.Components of Business strategy:1. Mission Statement2. Vision3. Values4. Major goals5. External analysis6. Internal analysis7. SWOT Analysis and Business Model8. Strategy Implementation9. The feedback loop Importance of Alignment:Alignment of human resource management with business strategy is an important to correlate its mission, vision correctly and to find the future suggestion. To find out the allignment few literature reviewes are done which are:Linda Holbeche wrote in his book Aligning Human Resource and Business Strategy that, Attracting and mobilizing talent, building effective leadership, providing coherence and ensuring good governance. With an agenda such as this, I argue, the time has come for HR to get on the front foot and lead the way. (L. Holbeche, 2009)Dyah Kusumastuti wrote in his paper ALIGNING HUMAN RESOURCE AND BUSINESS STRATEGY to show that development of HR Managing needed to align with Business Strategy. He founded several key findings, firstly, the translating business strategy into action and identify corporate scorecard.

The above discussion in analyzing findings one company maintains a high performance by implementing Human Resource Management measures that are compatible with their business strategies. It is not easy however for many companies to implement such Human Resource measure. One reason for this is because contract fees and profit margins determined by hem put in a limit on how far company can let skill levels of contract workers to be reflected in treatment. Another reason is because placement for contract workers is often up to the circumstances concerning personnel at client companies. Based on from a survey I can examine that how Human Resource management practices corresponded with their business strategies at contract companies as a whole rather then targeting high-performance companies. My analysis combined data from a survey targeting head office of companies cornering business strategies and a survey targeting branch office concerning implementation of Human Resource Management policies.
