Building Business Value Via Strategic Human Resource Management

The work of Human Resource management is of greatest value when it enables the strategy of the business. HR guru David Ulrich (1) states: “HR should not be defined by what it does but by what it delivers – results that enrich the organization’s value to customers, investors, and employees”.

What is strategic human resources management? HR strategy creates a framework/ blueprint to support business objectives with systems, processes and programs designed to achieve enhanced organizational performance as seen in this diagram below:
