Strategic HRM is systematically linked to the strategic needs of an organization and aims to provide it with an effective work force while meeting the needs of its members and other constituents in society. HRM aims to improve the productive contribution of individuals while simultaneously attempting to achieve other societal and individual objectives. In practice, this means that the department is attempting to achieve the organizational, functional, societal, and individual (or personal) goals of employees wherever feasible. Todays organizations must be able to survive and compete in a vastly changed world, where high productivity and effectiveness are cornerstones to success. The HR department aims to achieve these goals while at the same time attempting to satisfy societal and employee individual needs.
