Strategic human resource management (HRM) defines an organization's plans for achieving business goals through its workforce. It is based on the premise that human capital is a competitive advantage, involves strategic implementation by people, and requires a systematic approach to align HR strategies with business objectives. The process encompasses overall organizational effectiveness and specific aspects of people management, such as recruitment and employee relations.

how it should get there.
