2. TYPES OF HUMAN RESOURCE STRATEGIES
Organizations vie with one another in developing future-oriented,
sequential and integrated strategies to accomplish corporate objectives.
Today, human resource management offers plenty of scope for developing
such strategies. HR practices and techniques involving recruitment,
training, compensation, performance evaluation, and communication are
constantly reviewed and redesigned from strategic perspectives so that
they evolve as the major sources of competitive advantage for the
organization.

3. Organizations may adopt different techniques for developing HR
strategies depending upon their environment, mission, vision, objectives
and strategies, culture, and internal strengths and weaknesses. Important
types of HR strategies are commitment strategy, compliance strategy,
paternalistic strategy and collaborative strategy.
We shall now discuss these strategies briefly.
Commitment Strategy
In this strategy, the organization seeks to build up a strong commitment
among employees through the commonality of interests between employers
and employees.

4. Compliance Strategy
In this strategy, the organization aims at increased labour efficiency through
improved labour cost control and process control.
Paternalistic Strategy
The aim of this strategy is to secure labour efficiency through flexibility of
staffing, work- force stability, internal promotions and job permanency.
Collaborative Strategy
In this strategy, labour efficiency is achieved through need-based hiring of
highly skilled labour and evaluating and rewarding them only through
performance-based criteria.
