HRM and Organisational Strategy
Strategy is the planning and processes put in place to achieve long term goals and maintain competitive advantage. Human Resources Management is how you manage the people in your organisation. How the interface between them is managed can drastically change how an organisation functions.
Hard versus soft people management
The word “strategy” has a military origin and for many it implies an authority-driven top-down approach similar to how a General might command his troops. Employees are a resource, to be utilised in the way that is best for the organisation.
In this top-down hard management style the decision making capabilities of the organisation are held by a few individuals at the top.
