Strategic HR means managing HR in a way that supports the company’s long-term business goals and outcomes. And while HR professionals recognize the importance of strategic HR, there is currently a gap—or road block—between its perceived value and how prevalent it is today.
The gap between HR and non-HR management can be partially explained by their very dierent ideas on how HR contributes strategically. For example, consider which HR activities HR and non-HR management rank as the most important contributions to the organization's strategic business initiatives and how little they match each other.
