5. Strategy of Human Resources
Strategic HR planning is an important component of
strategic HR management. It links HR management
directly to the strategic plan of your organization. Most
mid- to large sized organizations have a strategic plan that
guides them in successfully meeting their missions.
Organizations routinely complete financial plans to ensure
they achieve organizational goals and while workforce plans
are not as common, they are just as important.

7. Planning and Appraisal: How an organization sets
goals, plans performance, provides ongoing coaching,

Individual and Team Development: How an
organization identifies the needs for employee skill
development, education, and growth and how they meet
those need
8. Career Planning: How an organization strives to help
employees to learn their strengths and to match these
strengths, aptitudes, preferences, and abilities to future
work.
Hiring: How an organization defines and fills positions
and roles with qualified people from within and/or
outside the organization; how an organization orients
these new employees.
9. Career Pathing: How an organization (for key positions
and roles) determines the logical progression of jobs, roles,
assignments, and development to provide a sufficient pool
of qualified candidates and incumbents.
Succession Planning: How an organization
systematically identifies key roles and positions, determines

11. Challenges of Human Resources
Globalization
Changes in political and legal environment
Workplace Diversity
Control and Measure Results
Managing EIS
12. Globalization
At a political and economic level, globalization is the
process of denationalization of markets, politics and legal
systems i.e. the use of the so-called global economy.
Changes in political and legal environment
Changes in political and legal environment means changes
in political parties and rules regulation due to which new
laws are come and you have to follow all laws while doing
business.
13. Workplace Diversity
According to Thomas (1992), dimensions of workplace diversity
include, but are not limited to: age, ethnicity, ancestry, gender, physical
abilities/qualities, race, sexual orientation, educational background,
geographic location, income, marital status, military experience,
religious beliefs, parental status, and work experience
Control and Measure Results
A HR Manager must conduct regular organizational
assessments on issues like pay, benefits, work environment,
management and promotional opportunities to assess the
progress over the long term. There is also a need to develop
appropriate measuring tools to measure the impact of diversity
initiatives at the organization through organization-wide
feedback surveys and other methods.
14. Gain-sharing
Gain-sharing programs generally refer to incentive plans
that involve employees in a common effort to improve
organizational performance, and are based on the concept
that the resulting incremental economic gains are shared
among employees and the company.
Motivational Approaches
Workplace motivation can be defined as the influence that
makes us do things to achieve organizational goals: this is a
result of our individual needs being satisfied (or met) so
that we are motivated to complete organizational tasks
effectively
15. Managing EIS
As information is the basis of decision-making in an
organization, there lies a great need for effective managerial
control. A good control system would ensure the
communication of the right information at the right time
and relayed to the right people to take prompt actions.
When managing an Executive Information System, a
HR manager must first find out exactly what
information decision-makers would like to have
available in the field of human resource management,
and then to include it in the EIS.
