While it was tempting to only deal with the immediate challenges during COVID, the organisations that emerged stronger following the pandemic were the ones that resisted the urge to go into survival mode and started formulating long-term plans from the outset. More than anything, the pandemic showed the importance of always having an underlying business strategy that can flex as circumstances change.

Today a strategic approach to HR is shaped and facilitated by two elements: Technology and data and analytics. Technology will be used to track the real-time needs of each individual and the data collected will be used to refine everything from L&D and recruitment to performance frameworks and remuneration.

Research indicates that a set of universal HR processes formulised in a strategic HR plan, can lead to superior business performance by setting direction in all areas of HRs mandate, from talent acquisition through to employee engagement.

The whitepaper gives insight into:

  • Why new expectations from executives and employees are reinforcing the need for human resource management strategies.
  • The key components of a strategic approach to HR management
  • How to translate that approach to a strategic HR framework and plan
  • Why the needs of deskless workers must be incorporated into a strategic HR plan
  • The role of a HR strategy in an increasingly agile world
