Workshop on Advanced Strategic Human Resource Management

Program overview:                                                                                                                                                                  

Advanced Strategic human resource management is the practice of attracting, developing, rewarding, and retaining employees for the benefit of the employees and the organization as a whole. HR departments that practice strategic human resource management work with other departments within an organization in order to understand their goals and then create strategies that align with their objectives, as well as those of the organization. As a result, the goals of the human resource department reflect and support the goals of the rest of the organization. Strategic HRM is seen as a partner in organizational success, as opposed to a necessity for legal compliance or compensation. Strategic HRM utilizes the talent and opportunity within the human resources department to make other departments stronger and more effective. Human resource department strategically develops its plans for recruitment, training, and compensation based on the goals of the organization to ensure greater chance of organizational success
