‘People Strategy’ needs to be defined, Im looking for a 250 word intro, 250 word conclusion leaving the rest for the main critique. 25 references needed.
LSF, my company, has its HR assisting with interveiwing the new recruits, in which various aspects of the role and employment terms are laid out to the new recruit and HR formally writes to the recruit with the job offer.
This would suggest that HR takes a leading role in the appointment of the new member of staff and in our company they assist the head of department responsible for recruiting the member of staff.
I would agree that a people strategy would contribute toward the overall strategic aims of the business and this assignment should support this case.
To include
HR was created in the US, the UK is a somewhat poorly replicated version but it is improving.
References to include – ‘Torrington and Hall’ in particular ‘Torrington and Hall’ 1998, ‘integration of human resource strategy is rarely seen’.
‘Boxall’, in particular Boxall 1996 in which he talks about HR Management Strategy
‘Whttington’ 2001 talks about how strategy is formed – this needs to be included
Refer to Psychological contracts and the reciprocal obligations between HR and the employee
‘Kotter’ references are needed – he talks about the early experiences having a major effect on the individuals satisfaction
‘Emmett’ – points out that good people management practices are the basis for a positive psychological contract and can deliver improved business performance (an important reference for my argument)
