05/03/2023 KATOPOLA, Daudi : Lesson 1 3
Preamble (1-3)• SHRM covers the concepts and practices that guide and
align Human Resource Management philosophy, tactical planning and practice with the strategic and long term goals of the organization, with a particular focus on human capital. It deals with the macro-concerns of the organization regarding structure, quality, culture, values, commitment, matching resources to future needs and other longer term people issues.
05/03/2023 KATOPOLA, Daudi : Lesson 1 4
Preamble (2-3)• Strategic HRM gives direction on how to build the
foundation for strategic advantage by creating an effective organizational structure and design, culture, employee value proposition, systems thinking, an appropriate communication strategy and preparing an organization for a changing landscape, which includes downturns and mergers & acquisitions. Sustainability and corporate social responsibility come within the ambit of this discipline, especially with reference to organizational values and their expression in business decision making.
05/03/2023 KATOPOLA, Daudi : Lesson 1 5
Preamble (3-3)• Strategic HRM emphasizes organizational codes of
ethics, managing the societal impact of business decisions, philanthropy and the role of the human resource professional in improving the quality of life of employees, their families and the community at large.

Introduction• Although most business leaders recognize the importance
of the people factor, few of them have been successful in using HR effectively, in such a way as to inspire success and to achieve a high-performance business strategy.
05/03/2023 KATOPOLA, Daudi : Lesson 1 7
…cont’d • Business leaders who believe they can decide the HR
priorities without a deeper understanding of the relationship between business strategy, organization and people will find that their organization never becomes a truly high-performing company. HR managers who believe they can determine the HR agenda for any organization largely within the HR function itself will fail to add value to the organization they work for.
05/03/2023 KATOPOLA, Daudi : Lesson 1 8
…cont’d • In our view, the CEO and the HR leader need to form a
natural alliance so that together they manage the balance between keeping the successful core activities of the past, doing away with other, less successful existing activities and building new capabilities for growth and future success.
05/03/2023 KATOPOLA, Daudi : Lesson 1 9
…cont’d • What is needed more than ever before is a common view
on the business HR agenda that needs to be delivered in order for the organization to be successful overall. Rapid change is happening in all sectors of public and corporate life, and the ability to adapt to such change has become of strategic importance. Clarity on what needs to be done on the human side of the organization is vital. In a high-performance company, people behave in an inspired, responsible and decent manner. Such a company has a way of doing business whereby ‘heart and mind’ come together.

Strategic components of HRM relevant to internal fit
• Management awareness• Management of the function• Portfolio of programs• Personnel skills• Information technology• Awareness of the environment
05/03/2023 KATOPOLA, Daudi : Lesson 1 47
HR Practitioners Role • The HR managers have keen role in the effective planning and implementation of
the policies and decisions that in tune with the business changes. 1. They should act as strategic partners and be proactive in their role than mere
reactive, passive spectators.2. The HR managers should understand how far their decisions contribute to
business surplus incorporating human competency and performance to the organisation.
3. Strategic HR managers need a change in their outlook from seeing themselves as relationship managers to strategic resource managers.
i. Kossek (1987, 1989) argues that major HRM innovations occur when senior management takes the lead and adoption of innovative SHRM practices is dependent on the nature of relationship of the HR Department with the CEO and the line managers.
ii. Legge (1978) commenting on the actions of the personnel practitioner in the innovation process suggests that adoption of an innovation by an organization depends largely on HR practitioners' credibility with information and resource providers.
4. HR Department and HR managers in these innovative organizations play a strategic role (Ulrich, 1997) linking the HR strategy with the business strategy of the organization.
5. A crucial aspect concerning SHRM is the concepts of fit and flexibility. The degree of fit determines the human resource system's integration with organization strategy. It is the role of HR Managers to ensure this fit in between Human Resource System with the Organization Strategy.
