How to align HR Strategy with the Business Strategy?
It is a simple question, but the HR Strategy is usually not aligned with the business strategy or any other strategies in the organization. The HR declares, the HR Strategy supports the business, but there is no other alignment with the business strategy. It is a program of the employee care, but it is not the HR Strategy.
The HR Strategy aligned with the business strategy is about the growth of the business, increasing the performance of the employees and keeping the costs under a control. The HR Strategy aligned with the business strategy is not much about the employee satisfaction and benefits provided to the population as they are not the strategic goals, but they are tools to reach the goals important for the whole organization.
The process of the alignment of the HR Strategy with the business strategy is about going deeper and finding the real root components of the successful human capital management in the organization. The HR Managers have to identify the real goals of the business, the business way how to reach the goals and the real needs of the business from Human Resources. The HR tends to take care of employees, but it is not what the business asks for usually.
The HR Strategy alignment with the business strategy needs many discussions inside Human Resources about the real goals of the organization and how the organization will utilize its human capital to reach the goals. It is not about the employee satisfaction, it is a side effect. The HR Management has to understand, how the business wants to reach the goals and then the HR Strategy can be developed and fully aligned with the business strategy.
The aligned HR Strategy misses the nice words about the retention, the employee satisfaction and other nice HR initiatives. These are the tools, the real business goals are different. The HR Strategy has to respect it.
