Human resources department play a vital role in aligning business strategy of company with employees interest and work.

The people outside the decision making team always evaluate the strategic moves with the question WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME ( Is it a bad or good news?) ?. Whereas the profit mo & growth motives will  be constantly judged .Eventually people will buy the story if they are given a progress update on regular basis about twists and turns as well . Secondly to embrace the story at the individual level they need to be given some space and opportunity to contribute their element for a sense of ownership .These two actions will allow the employees to remain engaged during the period of change.

In fact it is essential to have goals of people to be aligned with the goals of the organization else there will not be a desired progress and growth.

that is why in the management of a given organization, the first question to be asked is who? once we know who are on the bus ( consequently who should not be on the bus!!) one can decide on the next questions what , when and where etc.

wherever peoples goals are not aligned with the goals of the company, it shall lead to derailment and a cohesive team does not emerge and  the objectives of company shall not be attained.

If your company is like many other small and mid-sized businesses, your employees represent both your organization's biggest line item expense, and your most valuable asset. This means your company's productivity-and ultimately, its profitability-depend on making sure all of your workers perform up to their full potential.

The need to effectively leverage the skills of employees is even more critical for small and mid-sized firms since most simply cannot compete with large companies when it comes to technology, physical infrastructure, or financial resources. To survive in today's marketplace, small to mid-sized businesses like yours must find ways to be smarter, more productive, and more cohesive than their larger competitors. How can this be accomplished? Studies show a dramatic increase in both worker and business performance when an organization effectively sets and closely ties individual employee goals to the company's overall strategy. Yet amazingly, a mere7% of employees today fully understand their company's business goals and strategies and what's expected of them in order to help achieve company business goals.

 

In a recent study, researchers found a strong correlation between a company's financial performance and an effective goal setting process. Companies that more closely aligned goals across their organization enjoyed much higher levels of financial success. The study also found that employees in the weakest-performing companies did not clearly understand the connection between their individual efforts and the overall goals of their employers. These same people also reported feeling confused as to their roles at the company, which naturally resulted in unfocused-and therefore less productive-work activity.

What I believe is that strategy needs not to be aligned with operations and personal goals. Its the other way round and a transformation roadmap should be developed to get in sync with organizational strategy.
