It is very crucial that the role that the HR plays in any organization is a strategic one and thus it should also gain a seat in the C-suite. In today’s corporate world, the companies swear by strategies because without those, they are not going to last long in the game. Strategic management is the company policy that takes into account the approach that addresses the competitive challenges that some organization faces and it also lays stress on the formulation of strategy. It is very important to make the employees understand about the strategic direction in order to make them fully grasp about the mission, vision, goals, external opportunities and threats, internal opportunities and weaknesses and the long term ambitions.
