According to the VP of the Center for Workforce Preparation at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Beth Buehlmann, she says that 75% of today’s workforce will need additional training “just to keep the jobs they have today” (Morden, 2013). Every company’s HR strategy needs to have a vision which is a picture of the anticipated future, a mission that is strong and convincing, goals that lead to the achievement of the needs and wants, strategy to achieve those goals, and initiatives to implement the strategy (Wheeler, 2012).

...resource planning By Workinfo.com, www.workinfo.com 1. Introduction A comprehensive Human Resource Strategy plays a vital role in the achievement of an organisation's overall strategic objectives and visibly illustrates that the human resources function fully understands and supports the direction in which the organisation is moving. A comprehensive HR Strategy will also support other specific strategic objectives undertaken by the marketing, financial, operational and technology departments. In essence, an HR strategy should aim to capture "the people element" of what an organisation is hoping to achieve in the medium to long term, ensuring that:- • • • • it has the right people in place it has the right mix of skills employees display the right attitudes and behaviours, and employees are developed in the right way. If, as is sometimes the case, organisation strategies and plans have been developed without any human resource input, the justification for the HR strategy may be more about teasing out the implicit people factors which are inherent in the plans, rather than simply summarising their explicit "people" content. An HR strategy will add value to the organisation if it: • • articulates more clearly some of the common themes which lie behind the achievement of other plans and strategies, which have not been fully identified before; and identifies fundamental underlying issues which must be addressed by any organisation or business if its people are to be motivated...
