Human Resource Strategies

Although there are general strategies for every business, we can say that there are a number of general components that allow for design.

To study is first to clarify a number of concepts:

1. Primarily, human resource mediation strategy should be understood, "the master plan, a company deliberately makes its human resources to gain a competitive advantage over their competitors."

2. The above strategy can be regarded as "the policy or program that enables progress towards strategic goals."

3. There are two types of strategies:

• Defense that they give the company must be in a stable environment, it also allows organizing the diverse workforce or targeted to reduce costs:

These companies are characterized by a number of products or services that are limited in terms of areas of work or small business with a stable environment.

Management feature has an internal orientation (looking for promotions staff) to the short term, have an expert staff, but limited, is looking for efficiency, task orientation, adjust the position. Key human resources are: production and finance.

Above all it seeks to reduce costs through efficient work, without thinking of the long term construction.

• Explorer : it happens in companies with environment variable, uncertain. Need to be flexible to changes, belong to a rapidly growing industry. These companies are continually looking for innovative new business opportunities. Are generators of change and uncertainty. Using multiple technologies.

Management feature is: Targeting the middle (they are always attentive to the needs of the market), with high growth potential, creativity, external orientation (look for resources outside the company), where it is valued and has key human capital, will make investments in R & D and Marketing.

These organizations are more flexible and innovative and therefore more risk and greater chance of success.

When designing an HR strategy will also be designed:

• strategies involvement : internal or external recruitment, permanent employment or temporary etc.

• strategies remuneration : how reward staff?

• strategies training : do we want highly skilled employees multipurpose? Or both things at once?

• strategies for evaluation : evaluate staff as behavior or as the result?
