INTRODUCTION
| Strategic HRM is the link between business strategies and the human and social components of the firm. In practice, HR should advocate the integration of organizational capabilities into the overall business strategy and lead the translation of business strategies to employee actions and commitment. One of the significant shifts in the evolution of the HR practice is the expansion of its charter from just personnel management to include organization development and effectiveness. This added dimension highlighted the strategic component of the HR function. The expanded mandate of developing the organizational capabilities of an enterprise puts the profession in the same playing field as the finance, operations and marketing functions. |
