HR and Strategy
Strategic Human Resource Management
• Strategic human resource management –
means formulating and executing human resource
policies and practices that produce the employee
competencies and behaviors that the company
needs to achieve its strategic aims.
Improving Performance: The
Strategic Context
Building L.L. Bean
Let’s take a look at the heart of their strategy.
HR and Strategy
 As in the Strategic Context feature, today’s employers want
their HR managers to put in place practices that will produce the
employee behaviors that help the company achieve its strategic
aims.
 We use a model opening each chapter to illustrate this idea,
but in brief the model follows this three-step sequence:
• Set the firm’s strategic
• aims → Pinpoint the employee behaviors and skills we need to
achieve these strategic
• aims → Decide what HR policies and practices will enable us to
produce these necessary employee behaviors and skills.
HR and Performance
The Human Resource Manager is expected to
spearhead employee performance.
Three Levers can be applied to do so:
1. Department Lever
2. Employee Cost Lever
3. Strategic Results Lever
HR and Evidence Based Management
• Evidence-based human resource
management – is the use of data, facts,
analytics, scientific rigor, critical evaluation, and
critically evaluated research/case studies to
support human resource management proposals,
decisions, practices, and conclusions.
HR and Adding Value
• Adding value – means helping the firm and its
employees improve in a measurable way as a
result of the human resources manager’s actions.
HR and Performance and
Sustainability
• It is about measuring companies in terms of
maximizing profits but also on their environmental
and social performance as well.
HR and Employee Engagement
• Employee engagement – refers to being
psychologically involved in, connected to, and
committed to getting one’s job done.

Manager
The New Human Resource Manager
HR managers can't
just be good at
traditional personnel
tasks like hiring and
training, but must
"speak the CFO's
language" by

resource plans in
measurable terms.
The New Human Resource Manager
The Society of Human Resource Management
(SHRM) has a new “competency model” called the
SHRM Body of Competency and Knowledge that
itemizes what a New HR Manager needs
• What should they be able to exhibit?
• What basic functional areas of HR should they
have command?
HR and the Manager’s Skills
• The aim of this book is to help every manager develop the skills he or she
needs to carry out the human resource management-related aspects of
his or her job, such as recruiting, selecting, training, appraising, and
incentivizing employees, and providing them with a safe and fulfilling work
environment.
• HR and Ethics : Ethics refer to the standards someone uses to decide what his or her
conduct should be.
