Human Resource Management (HRM)

Aligning  Organizacional Structure With Business Goals

The key focus in Human Resource Management (HRM) is the identification of appropriate HR’s strategy, structure and systems within the context of value creation, that it require for the business / organization.

Both HRM and Organization Strategy (Organizational Design as well) must be aligned. Indeed, the main issue is to find out how HRM strategy adds value to the organization.

Lets see the following chat:

The HRM adds value to the business, doesn’t it?
Depends. If HRM has a strategy aligned to the business, then yes!
How is this? The HRM and their inherent area not always have been empowered enough within the Organization, in other cases, HR people don’t full understand or fullfil how to add value to the business strategy.

What methodologies HRM should have?

HRM is a field directed at interventions in the processes of human systems (formal and informal groups, organizations, communities, and societies) in order to increase their effectiveness and health using a variety of disciplines, principally applied behavioral sciences. HR requires practitioners to be conscious about the values guiding their practice and focuses on achieving its results through people.”

But that is not enough to get a HRM aligned with the business strategy

It is necesary the mastering of the following fields:
1. Stategic Planning
2. Customer satisfaction
3. Financial performance
4. Competitive advantage
5. Process Management
