HR Practices and Performances One of the foundational beliefs of strategic human resource management is that aligning HR strategy with the organization's overall business strategy helps to improve performance and leads to the business becoming more competitive in the marketplace. Therefore, SHRM seeks to initiate organization-wide practices that lead to increased employee motivation, decreased reliance on hierarchies of management and an increased push for performance data to measure employee progress. An organization might, for instance, institute an employee compensation plan that rewards increased productivity with extended vacation time or flexible working hours. Designing Workflow Processes SHRM stresses the importance of organizational design and its impact on employee and resource planning. This often involves the cultivation of soft skills that encourage what Bratton calls "the vertical and horizontal compression of tasks and greater work autonomy." Developing high-performance work systems and encouraging managers to be committed to carrying out the organization's goals and objectives can go far in developing a flattened hierarchy where employees are encouraged to voice their opinions and give feedback on what is and isn't working within their daily processes. Workplace Learning SHRM also recognizes the value of establishing workplace learning programs to help employees and managers achieve the business's goals. Sometimes called professional development or training initiatives, workplace learning teaches employees to commit to a plan of action, to be flexible in their work approaches and to aim for high quality in their outputs. This learning can be either formal, as in training seminars or higher education courses, or informal in which training is integrated as part of the mentoring process between employees and managers. Both types of learning can strengthen the business's core competencies, which include the skills and attitudes that set it apart from the competition. Fostering Leadership and Teamwork Leadership is the process of transforming employee behaviors and attitudes so that they better align with the organization's mission and with the employees' individual strengths. Unlike management, leadership is a more organic process and is not necessarily concerned with hierarchy or strict planning regimes. SHRM is specifically interested in empowering employees at all levels of the organization to exhibit respect for one another, open communication and pride in their work, and to express opinions rationally and objectively.
