This series of bite-sized HR strategy concepts will illuminate the various aspects of the talent function and its cross-functional dependencies within an organization.
The primary objective of HR is to ensure the right people are in the right place, at the right time, and at the right cost. HR strategy and initiatives revolve around achieving these four pillars. The approach, however, varies depending on the industry, country, socio-economic landscape, and overall business strategy.
While HR strategy is vital to an organization’s success, it often doesn’t receive the same emphasis as business or finance strategies due to its lack of mandated reporting requirements and direct accountability to external stakeholders. The intangible nature of elements like culture, employee engagement, and talent development, which are harder to measure than financial metrics, further diminishes its perceived importance.
Yet, what cannot be measured cannot be managed—and in the corporate world, it cannot be justified for investment. Therefore, developing a clear HR strategy that translates into actionable, measurable outcomes directly tied to the core business strategy is essential.
