Strategic People / Human Resource Planning (PowerPoint PPTX)

Human Resource practices today more than ever need to support, and be aligned with, the organization's business strategy and the satisfaction of customer needs. They are essential to business and organizational growth, as well as providing a basis for competitive gain. This requires the Human Resource function to take on a more Strategic role, and HR practitioners to be strategists, planners and implementers, in order to position the organization to its maximum advantage.

Human Resource Managers and Practitioners must make a conscious choice to become full strategic partners in contributing to the organization's success, or risk remaining providers of an operational function that makes a marginal difference to their organization.

Evidence shows that organizations that take a more strategic view of Human Resources, and that have integrated the HR function seamlessly into the organization's strategic planning and management, are the organizations that have successfully transformed their PEOPLE into their competitive advantage. And it is their people as the one competitive edge that once achieved and sustained, truly differentiates organizations in today's world.

This set of Powerpoint slides provides a framework to guide you through the development of a robust Strategic People (or Human Resource) Plan.
