“Discuss the ways in which an appropriate HR strategy can improve an organization’s
overall success”
Human Resource Management is the strategic approach to the effective management of people in
an organization. Human resource is the main asset of the organization as it helps to achieve the
advantage of competition in the market (Sparrow, Brewster, and Chung, 2016). The concept of
human resource management is used to designed maximize the performance of employee in
service of an employer’s strategic objectives. The main task of Human resource management is
to manage the employee that is necessary for the company to attain the high success. It is the
duty of the HR department to handle or manage the human resource of the company. There are
many strategies are used by the HR department of the organization to manage the human
resource (Cascio, 2015). In this paper, the discussion is made on the concept of human resource
management. In this paper, the ways of HR Strategies will be discussed that can be used to
recover the overall performance of an organization. There are different HR strategies that are
used to enhance the performance of the company.
An HR strategy is the strategy that is adopted by the company that main aim is to integrating an
organization’s culture. The HR strategy should be aligned with the mission, vision and goals of
the company. It has been seen that the main motive of the organization is to attain the higher
level of success. It is also observed that the company can attain the success when the human
resource is managed effectively (Bratton, and Gold, 2017). There are four key dimensions that
must be used by the company while developing the HR Strategy such as culture, organization
environment, people and human resource system.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 2
The first HR Strategy is to develop the culture of business. Culture is the main source of boosting
the energy of employees towards the work. It is required to develop the healthy or friendly
environment by reducing the biasness among the employees related to religions and caste
(Kundu, Bansal, and Chawla, 2015). It is the duty of HR department to manage or treat the
employee equally. The HR department has to spread the awareness among the employees related
to the concept of equality by telling them about the work environment of the company on the
date of joining. It is observed that the healthy culture or environment of the company helps to
enhance the productivity of people of an organization. It has been seen that the employees work
on the place where they get the happy environment so that they does not get depress from the
unnecessary things or biasness environment (Pfeffer, 1998). Reducing the stress of the
employees supports to improve their performance that directly affects the business of the
organization. The HR department also has to upload the information about the work environment
so that those candidates apply for the job who wants to work with this type of environment. This
strategy also helps to convey the company’s value in inside or outside the organization. For
example- SingTel is an Asia leading company that provides the description of their culture on the
website with the title is “Company culture: what can we learn from SingTel, Asia’s leading
telco?” as it helps to learn the HR Strategies (Davis, 2013).
The second HR strategy is to use the clear job description. The HR department has to clear the
job profile of employee while giving the job letter or in the recruiting process. It has been seen
that the employees has to work as per the responsibilities of its job profile. This HR strategy
helps to reduce the level of confusion for the employees related to the work. Nowadays, it is
essential for the companies to describe the job profile clearly while hiring the employees. This
strategy not only helps the internal employees to do their work effectively but also helps to hire

the best or suitable candidate for the vacancy. The HR department has to upload the
advertisement with the clear job description so that the only those people can apply for the
particular job who are able to perform those responsibilities. This HR Strategy helps the
recruiting team to hire the best candidate among all the candidates who are applied for the
particular roles and responsibilities. If the person hire on the basis of clearly describe the
particular roles and responsibilities than the performance of employees is also enhanced that
directly helps to achieve the success. It also helps to gain the competitive advantage in the
market (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, and Wright, 2017).
Identify the right talent is also another HR strategy that can be used by the HR department of the
company to attain the organization objective. It has been seen that it is very essential for the
company to hire the right talent for the effective services or performance (Boxall, and Purcell,
2016). It is observed that the strategy of hiring the right persons at the right place improve the
performance of employees. It has been seen that the describing the culture and job profile of the
company helps to hire the right talent of people. It is observed that hiring the right persons at the
right place enhance the performance of the company. It not only increases the productivity but
also improve the quality of work due to which the chances of achieving the success is increasing
(Xiu, Liang, Chen, and Xu, 2017).
It is the responsibility of the human resource manager to manage the interview process but it also
a strategy that supports to hire the effective employee or reduce the cost. It is an effective process
as it helps to select the best candidate for the best place so that it can easily provide the quality of
services to consumers. This strategy not even helps to perform the services but also helps to hire
the best candidate in the low budget. It is required for the company to organize the interview to
hire the best people with the high talent (Mayhew, 2019). The company has to plan the

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 4
interviews and ensure that those questions help to found the people who have high skills but also
have talent that are seeking for the vacancy. Effective interview process is that in which not only
skills are tested but also the personality of a candidate will evaluated. This HR Strategy helps the
organization to attain the higher level of success by hiring the best candidate for the vacancy
(Anwaar, Nadeem, and Hassan, 2016). For instance- HR department has to recruit the people by
visiting the application form. After selecting the selected people, the company can organize the
interview process to select the highly skilled employees.
The best HR strategy for the organization is to take the best possible decision. It is the
responsibility of the HR Department to appoint the candidate who performs their responsibility
effectively. But it is observed that the department has to hire the manager who has high skills and
personality in order to resolve the issues in quick manner. It is essential for the company to hire
the best manager that helps to take the best decision for the company to resolve all the problems
in every situation. The best manager is the one who can easily solve the every problem in every
situation. The HR department has to design the strategies or policies in the favor of managers so
that they are encourage to perform the all roles and responsibilities (Stewart, and Brown, 2019).
If the policies or strategies are designed in the favor of manager than the manager makes the
organization goal their own goals and put their full efforts to achieve the objective. It is essential
for the company to have the high skill and personality of manager that can easily performs all
responsibilities effectively and the employees can also follow the manager. The employees
follow the managers due to which the chances of the company to attain the success is increasing
that is why; it is recommending that the company has to hire the manager with the best talent and
skills as it helps to earns the high profit (Huselid, 1995). Effective decision of manager helps the
employees to perform the activities easily in the right manner without any confusion. It supports

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 5
the employees to enhance the performance of the organization but also helps to reduce the issues
that have been created while spreading the business at the next level.
Training and development is the HR strategy that is designed to improve the performance of the
company. It has been observed that the HR department designs the training and development
program to provide the knowledge to the employees with the motive to improve the
performance. It is a fact that the trained employees perform better as compare to the normal
employees as they have the knowledge to perform their responsibilities. The company has to
train the employees as per their roles and responsibility. It is essential for the company to train
the employees according to their job description so that the chances of mistake is reduces
(Huselid, 1995). It is suggested that the company has to organize the training and development
program with the artificial machines so that the training will provided on those artificial
machines. This technique helps the employee to give them experience on real life machines.
Training helps the employees to improve their performance which directly enhances the
productivity of the organization that supports to attain the higher level of success. Training and
development program can also organize on the basis of the performance of existing employees.
The main aim of training and development program is totally relies on the weaknesses of the
employee so that they performance of the employees will improved. For example- Telstra
organize the training and development program to provide the training to employees in order to
improve the performance (Clarke, 2018).
According to the above discussion, it is concluded that the human resource management is the
technique that helps to manage the people and achieve the objective of the company. Human
resource is the main assets of the company that is why; it is required to manage the employees in
an effective manner so that it can attain the higher level of success in the business. There are

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 6
many HR Strategies that helps to recover the performance of employees such as training and
development, managing the interview process, identification of right talent and the others. These
strategies support to enhance the performance of employee that have positive impacts on the
business. It is observed that the performance of employee will improved with the use of these
strategies but by improving the performance of employees the productivity and quality of work
will enhanced. Enhancing the quality and productivity of the company helps to attain the higher
level of success in the business. The higher level of performance of organization beat the
competitors that help to gain the competitive advantage in the market.
