Academics and HR professionals have widely embraced Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) as a critical approach to aligning HR practices with organizational goals. SHRM integrates HR functions—such as talent acquisition, performance management, and employee development—into the company’s long-term strategy, ensuring a proactive rather than reactive approach. Academics have contributed by developing models and research that highlight the impact of SHRM on business performance, organizational culture, and competitive advantage. HR professionals apply SHRM by leveraging data-driven decision-making, fostering leadership development, and promoting agility in workforce planning. This strategic perspective has transformed HR from an administrative function into a key driver of innovation, efficiency, and business success.
