TASK 1
Explanation of relationship between business strategy and human resource strategy with
explanation of vertical alignment and horizontal integration in organisation. (400)
Business strategy in the field of management can be defined as the rules and regulations
with the relation to business which may bring something different and new for the benefits of
employees and company. Were as the human resource strategy means the process of planning
that is used to identify present and future human resources requirement in organisation to achieve
set goals. With reference to Sainsbury the following is the relationship between business strategy
and human resource strategy:
 Improves organisational productivity- The process of recruitment and selection of HR
department overrides productive building of workforce. For Sainsbury, development of
human resource strategies for recruitment and selection of best employee may affect the
company's bottom line (Das, Das, Sundaray and Sahoo, 2019).
 Executive leadership interactions- The quality of interaction between the HR
executives and other executives of Sainsbury define the relationship between human
resources and all over business strategies. There are times when the human resources
leaders of company deny access to boardroom and complain that organisation is not

appreciating value of human capital. Return on investment in human resource activities
can improve relationship between HR and executives.
 Develops Strategies and Solutions- The HR department and management team of
Sainsbury cooperate for the development of effective program for training employees,
performance appraisal and rewards to employees. Management development is also
necessary component for this process. For the management training- organisations
development, employee selection and recruitment with manpower planning are key
components which helps in getting solutions (Moussa, Garcia-Cardenas and Benrimoj,
2019).
Vertical alignment strategies are those which has goal to relate directly with
organisations mission, vision and values. With these strategies Sainsbury can indicate how it will
achieve goals and objectives. It has been seen that companies formulate several strategies which
they can implement to meet multiple objectives and goals. Strategies for vertical alignment are
formulated by top authorities and people at bottom level perform activities according to that so
that business strategies can be accomplished properly. While for proper execution of those plan
of action the human resources has to have proper knowledge about the manager they have to
report (Machta and et.al., 2019).
Horizontal integration ensures that all the strategies are working together and do not
have competition. When the business strategies of company are established to look at the big
goal, integration ensures that one part of organisation is not inadvertent and inappropriate to
impact the ability of achieving strategies of another part of enterprise. In Sainsbury the people
who work at same level are treated with equality as the manager make them feel that the work
done by each employee is important for company. This is necessary so that the business
strategies can be achieved by company with the people who are effective enough for company
and have full skills and knowledge of workplace (Hansman, Hjort, León-Ciliotta and Teachout,
2020).
Evaluation, comparison and contrast of theoretical models of SHRM.

with proper strategies and with effective work of human resource of company. There are certain
theoretical models which can help Sainsbury to attain its goals and objectives which are as
