INTRODUCTION TO “ STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCES

MANAGEMENT”
Every business will have the goals and targets. These goals
may be
financial, operational, marketing, or human resources, but
in order to achieve these goals, company should have
some commitments. So, for every commitment it should
be planned in a proper manner and this type of planning
is called asstrategies.
Strategies are those planned contents through which company
can
organize and ultimately achieving its goals are possible.
DEFINITIONS
Strategic Human Resources Management (SHRM) is
concerned with
the relationship betweenHRM and Strategic Management in an
organization.
Strategic Human Resources Management is an
approach which relates to decisions about the nature of
employment relationship, recruitment, training and
development, performance appraisal.
Wrightand McMahan defined Strategic Human Resources
Management as “the pattern of planned human resource
deployment and
activities intended to enable the firm to achieve its goals”
In
the early 1970s witnessed the emergency of the term
HRM as a replacement for personnel management. The
main objective of HRM is to ensure the achievement of
organizational goals through people.
In the early 1980s saw the emergence and increase
in the use of the term strategic HRM. The late 1980s and
early 1990s witnessed a visible convergence between
HRM and business strategy. In the 21st century this

COMPONENETS OFSHRM
SHRM is mainly concerned with people issues
and practices that affect or affected by the
strategic plan of the organization. The critical
issues facing an organization in contemporary
environment are mainly human issues, such as
ensuring the availability of people, retaining,
motivating, and developing these resources.
It focuses on organization’s human resources (people)
as
the primary sources of competitive advantage of the
organization--- The activities highlight the HR
programmes, policies, and practices as the mean
through which the people of the organization can
be deployed to gain competitive advantage.
--- Thepattern andplan imply that there is a fit
between HR strategy and the organization’s
business strategy and between all of the HR
activities.
--- The people, practices, and planned pattern
are all purposeful, that is, directed towards the
achievement of the goals of organization.

IMPORTANCE OF THE
STUDY
Liberalizationand privatization have brought about changes in
the
business environment, resulting in heightened competition
and growth of the service sector. So, the most challenge
for organizations comes with respect to the management
of human resources to ensure the availability of sufficient
number and quality of human resources at all times for the
successful achievement of organizational objectives.
The competitive advantage of a firm is no longer
defined by the traditional factors of success, such as
management of natural resources, technology, and
economies of scale. Instead, a firm’s success today is
defined by how well it manages its human resources, or
how well it incorporates human resources management
into its business strategy.
While firms compete intensely to attract, retain, and
motivate skilled and talented professionals, professionals
expect and demand more from firms-more job
satisfaction, better quality of work life and greater
recognition, rewards, and compensation-and prefer
mutuality and shared destiny over job security.
Strategic human resources management is therefore, critical to
a
firm’s success in the contemporary business environment.
