Strategic human resource management: A guide for deskless workplace leaders

Share

Why do you need a HR strategy?

While every organisation has been impacted by events of the past three years, the challenges have been even more acute for shift-based, roster-driven, frontline (or “deskless”) workplaces.

The global pandemic, the Great Resignation and the ongoing war for talent are important reminders that every business needs an underlying strategy, albeit one that can flex as circumstances change. The same applies to the HR function. While the day-to-day operations of HR remain critical, there’s simply too much at stake not to be operating strategically.

Defining strategic human resources

Strategic human resource management involves a future-oriented process of developing and implementing HR initiatives that address and solve business problems and directly contribute to major long-term business objectives. From talent acquisition through to the engagement, development and productivity of employees, the value of effective HR management has never been greater. Indeed, a business without a strategic HR function is akin to a boat without a rudder.
