An approach to strategic human resource management goes beyond the reactive, administrative responsibilities of the past to proactively drive a business's overall decision-making and, ultimately, its bottom line. When HR functions are aligned with corporate strategies, an organization gains an advantage in anticipating and meeting the ever-changing needs of its customers. Strategic human resource managers create and oversee long-term programs that support an organization's continued expansion.
HR professionals have embraced SHRM for the following reasons:
- Excellent culture within the company.
