FINAL – STRATEGIC HR PLAN – GUIDELINES:
A Strategic HR Plan helps organizations to align human resources to corporate strategy. It is an essential planning document built upon the corporate mission, vision, values and goals established in the strategic business plan.
A Strategic HR Plan provides information on how the HR function will support the goals and strategies of the organization, while also ensuring that HR planning and practices are consistent.
The ideal Strategic HR Plan outlines how the gaps between present and future capabilities will be addressed, enabling businesses to effectively pursue their company goals.
Considering what you have learned in the learning modules, and as we progress through the course, you will develop your comprehensive Strategic HR plan to present to the executives of your organization. The process for developing a Strategic HR Plan begins by identifying where your organization is now. Then formulate a clear picture of your company’s future along with ways to get there.
