Strategic human resource management

Over the years, the personnel management function in organisations has evolved from an ‘administrative expert’ function to that of a ‘strategic business partner’. Organisations have recognised that access to financial or operational capital is not the only factor that produces competitive advantage - the organisation's human capital is crucial in out-performing the competition.
