Description:
OVERVIEW This workshop is designed to help participants implement strategic HR in their organizations. Strategic HR is defined as: Integrating human resource management strategies and systems to achieve the overall mission, strategies, and success of the firm while meeting the needs of employees and other stakeholders. Source: Herman Schwind, Hari Das and Terry Wagar, Human Resource Management: A Strategic Approach. Achieving this definition has been difficult because traditionally HR has been seen as “the office down the hall”. The first step in implementing Strategic HR is understanding both what it is and why it is rare. This workshop will be interactive and draw on the experiences of all participants. Sharing of best practices will enable all participants to walk away with an action plan. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Participants who complete this workshop will: Understand the importance of Strategic HR Explore the benefits to the organization Build strategies to gain a seat at the senior table Understand the links between the organizational plan and the corresponding HR plan Learn to measure and account for HR programs and initiatives Learn to think in terms of business return on investment (ROI) COURSE OUTLINE Defining Strategic HR The Evolution of HR Tactical vs Strategic Management HR “At the Table” o Linking to the Organizational Strategic Plan Benefits of Strategic HR Creating HR Mission/Vision and Values Developing the Strategic HR Plan HR Forecasting Measurement and Accountability ROI for HR- Building the Business Case Personal Action Plan for Implementation
