Aligning HR

In today's context, HR must served as a value-added strategic partner in the formulation of the Company’s strategies. HR is directly responsible in implementing those strategies through "attract", "develop", "reward", "retain", and "separate" cycle of HR activities. We are "sitting" at the table.

HR plays a role in environmental scanning i.e. identifying and analyzing external opportunities and threats that may be crucial to the Company’s success. HR is to supply competitive intelligence that may be useful in the strategic planning process - again SWOT&C is relevant here.

HR practitioners need to understand and know how to measure the monetary impact of their actions. Understand our products and services. HR can only become strategic partners when we participate in the process of defining business strategy, when we design HR practices that align with the business strategy.

So today, we have been accorded "Observer Status" at the United Nation General Assembly. It is quite an achievement for all of us.

Now, I need to create a job specification for that position at New York. I know one canddiate that fits my requirements. Ha ha ha

Yours truly.
