HUMAN RESOURCE STRATEGY 2
Human Resource Strategy
The human resource is at the heart of any organization. A successful organization must
endeavor to develop and strengthen the human resource. Jack Welch points to key human
resource strategies that can be applied by serious companies willing to remain sustainable. This
paper will review four key strategies, as noted by Welch, and then underscore the
implementation aspects of the stated strategies.
Firstly, Welch emphasizes on effective change management strategy (Welch, 2016).
According to him, change is inevitable and cannot be avoided. Any business unit that cannot
respond and prepare well for change cannot survive the test of time. Welch insists that the people
in the organization must be well prepared for change. They must be explained to what is in the
change for them. Further, they must be made to understand the major rationale for change and
the particular benefits of the change to the organization. He emphasizes that without change
preparedness, people may likely resist it leading disruption of activities.
Subsequently, Welch points to team building as an important human resource strategy
(Welch, 2016). He explains that organizations are made of people working together towards a
common goal. Employees must be well trained and motivated to work together and place their
differences aside. He notes that an effective manager can hold each employee accountable for
their own actions and duty towards the success of the company. Also, people in the organization
should understand that their appraisals, job promotions are guaranteed and based on performance
and quality indicators without favor. Welch posits that well trained and effective teams can
survive recessions, government legislative changes and other external environment eventualities.
