Human resource is about the people in an organization; which is the core of any organization and its strategic plan. When properly aligned, the human resource department contributes to a successful strategy and the financial bottom line of a company. To have full involvement with strategy development, human resource needs to compare what it does now, with what it needs to do to provide value to the organization’s bottom line. Once the gap is seen, human resource needs to measure itself, and prove its worth as a strategic unit. Strategic planning is a step-by-step process of determining how to pursue the organization 's long-term goals with the resources expected to be available.
Continuous monitoring and evaluation of human resource strategic role expansion may prove itself to be worthy as a benefit to the bottom line. Human resource is viewed as the individuals in an organization. These individuals ultimately determine the effectiveness of strategy development, implementation, and subsequent competitive success. A strategic approach that is aligned with human resource ensures that an organization’s employees, skills, and abilities contribute to the achievement of its business goals (Huselid, Jackson, & Schuler, 1997).
The role of human resource department will change when it comes to environmental learning, and adapting to change. The issues of human resource and the improved credentials, professionalism, and organization understanding of human resource will bring a strategic partnership with business planning and strategic elements (Burack, E. H. 1988).
