Successful transformation to SHRM
• Integration of HR within the strategic planning process • Development of a partnership between HR and other members of the organization • Linkage of HR activities to business strategy and core cultural values of the organization • Restructuring the HR department to ensure success of all the above

Integration
• A strategic planning process occurs in an orgn • HR managers play an important role in that process • The strategic planning process, with significant HR input, should establish an identifiable strategic direction for the organization along with appropriate goals and objectives • This planning process should also identify a set of organizational cultural principles and values that enhance and contribute to the achievement of strategic goals and objectives • For full integration, HR managers must have both process control( ability to influence the development and selection of information used in making a decision) and decision control( ability to make or influence the decision itself)

Partnership
To become a business partner, HR must 1. Learn the firm’s business 2. Be more responsive to and aware of the organization’s needs and direction 3. Shift away from traditional HR functions 4. Become more involved in supportive, collaborative relationship with managers throughout the organization 5. Demonstrate the criticality of HR to the success of the business

Linkage
• Linkage of HR practices to overall business strategy • Interrelationship among HR activities

Restructuring HR
• Decentralized service teams to focus on defining and managing needed activities in specific business units • Executive HR services to address the unique needs of developing managerial talent within the organization • Centralized HR services used to gain cost efficiencies in the provision of basic company wide activities e.g compensation, professional recruiting and HRIS data bases

HR Strategy
• Strategies for HR flow out of the overall business plans / strategy and mainly focus on individual activities of staffing, C&B, performance management, career panning, T& D etc • The focus in the HR strategy is to do the individual activities better and more efficiently to contribute towards the organisation’s goals.
