Academics and HR professionals have applied Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) because it links HR practices directly to organizational goals, which enhances the case for HR as a crucial role in driving business success.
There is a strong business case for SHRM, as it builds up employee performance, adaptability, and alignment with strategic objectives. While some argue SHRM promotes HR professionals’ interests by elevating HR's organizational role, the strategic approach’s positive impact on productivity and innovation reinforces its value beyond self-interest.
