1.1 Explain the basic principles of strategic human resource management (SHRM)
and apply them to the case study.
Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) refers to the proactive management
of people. It involves aligning the HR function with the strategic objectives of an
organisation to improve performance and gain a competitive advantage.
Alignment with Organisational Strategy
HR activities must support and be integrated with the organisation’s long-term goals.
High-Level Involvement
HR must be involved in strategic decision-making, with representation at senior levels.
Focus on Long-Term Human Capital Development
HR strategies should develop and retain talent for the future, including training and
succession planning.
Systemic Integration
HR systems (recruitment, training, performance management, etc.) must work together
harmoniously.
Adaptability
HR must respond to internal and external changes (e.g. market shifts, new
technologies).
Measurement and Evaluation
SHRM includes measuring the impact of HR practices on organisational performance.
Apply to the Case Study (Zelensky):
Misalignment with Organisational Strategy
