Introduction
As discussed by Albrecht et al. (2015), human resource management can be defined
as a strategic approach based on the process of effective management of the employees in the
organization in order to help the business to gain competitive advantage. The process of
human resource management is designed by the organization in order to maximize the
performance of the employees (Banfield, Kay and Royles 2018). Human resource
management is concerned primarily based on the proper management of the employees in
different organizations. Different organizational factors have an impact on the human
resource management policies that are developed (Bakker and Demerouti 2017).
The report will be based on the analysis of the different forces that are able to shape
the human resource based agenda of an organization. The tools that can be used for the
proper analysis of business environment will also be a major part of the analysis. The stages
of proper strategy formulation and effective implementation of the strategies will be
discussed in detail. The analysis will be related to the role that is played by human resource
management in the process of proper business planning and change management.
1.1 Assessment of the factors that have an impact on the business and HR functions

affect the operations of modern organizations is the leadership (Bird and Mendenhall 2016).
According to Bratton and Gold (2017), leadership mainly refers to the people who are
able to make the decisions based on different organizational operations. The management

structure of management is developed in such a manner that helps in the formation of a clear
vision and empowering the employees as well.
2.1 Analysis of the forces that shape HR agenda
As discussed by Brewster et al. (2016), the internal environment factors of an
organization have a major impact on the human resource based activities that are performed.
The human resource management process that is developed in the organizations has an
impact on the work process of the employees. The levels of profitability of the organization
are also increased with the help of effective human resources. The major forces or factors that
have an impact on the HR based agenda are as follows,
Mission – The mission that has been developed by an organization is based on
the justification and purpose that is provided based on its existence in the
environment. The tasks that are provided to the employees are considered to
be important for reaching the goals and the mission that has been developed.
The HRM functions are developed with respect to the mission that has been
formed (Chuang, Jackson and Jiang 2016).
Policies – The policies that have been developed and implemented in an
organization are able to affect the direction that has been developed. The
methods that are implemented by the organizations in order to achieve the
objectives and goals have an impact on the proper planning of the human
resources (Collings, Wood and Szamosi 2018).
Organizational culture – The entire process that is developed in an
organization based on the shared values, habits and beliefs that are a part of
