What are HR strategies?

[pas0005]

I feel like an idiot asking this question, but what on earth are HR strategies? Is it basically relocation, dismissal etc as a means to aid the organisation whether financial or other? or does it involve training and such?

Yeah I'd never heard it before either.

Quoting astone788 from another thread:

They are stratgies put in place to help attract and maintain the best employees.
It's the same thing as the employment cycle. The reason for it is to help attract and maintain the best employees

An employer of choice is an organisation that attracts and retain staff of high caliber.
This can be achieved by using the following strategies:
- providing better opportunities and rewards
- providing a welcoming corporate culture (induction programs)
- Opportunities for training, development, and internal promotion
- Sense of satisfaction (locke/herzberg/maslow)
- Job security
- Flexible working conditions (working from home)
- Write appropriate job descriptions to ensure applicants have a clear idea of the job expectations before accepting the position.
- Interesing job design

They are strategies used to help achieve organisational goals. They directly influence the human resources of an organisation.

Notice how they are in line with the orginational goals.
