Conclusion

From the Paper:

"Strategic human resource management has been defined as " the linking of human resources with strategic goals and objectives in order to improve business performance and develop organizational culture that foster innovation and flexibility" (Siddharth Chaturvedi). Strategic HR means accepting the HR function as a strategic partner in the formulation of the company's strategies as well as in the implementation of those strategies through HR activities such as recruiting, selecting, training and rewarding personnel. Whereas strategic HR recognizes HR's partnership role in the strategizing process, the term HR Strategies refers to specific HR courses of action the company plans to pursue to achieve it's aims."
