Academics and HR professionals have embraced Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) because it aligns HR practices with organizational objectives, leading to improved business performance. The strategic approach to HRM recognizes employees as valuable assets, emphasizes talent development, and enhances employee engagement, resulting in increased productivity and competitiveness. While there may be some self-interest in adopting SHRM, its widespread acceptance is mainly due to its proven positive impact on overall organizational success and its ability to create a strong business case for strategic HR practices.
