not have critical thinking skill then it can be difficult to manage the activities. They should have
the ability to elaborate the plans and strategies with the employees and take their views so that
plans and strategies that are implemented can achieve success and growth. Plans and strategies
can only be successful in the company if they are discussed with the employees (Rothwell,
Hohne & King, 2018). Therefore, HR practitioner should have the skill of critical thinking so

as well.

as a basic consensus of creating and managing the activities of the company. By having proper

direction to the employees and by giving proper guidance and support it can be easy for them to
manage the strategies and plans in a proper manner. If they do not give direction then employees

& Gold, 2017).
