Modern human resource management goes beyond managing employee payroll and benefits. Successful companies engage in Strategic Human Capital Management (SHCM), which involves designing work in a way that enables the organization to meet strategic objectives. Strategically empowering employees can make or break an organization and it is important that human resource professionals realize the value in SHCM and how it ties directly into the strategy and goals of the company.
Professionals who are well-versed in SHCM are in short supply. While many human resource professionals have foundational knowledge of the field, few are currently thinking strategically about how human resources is critical to the strategic plan of the organization. This requires analytic skills that are rarely taught in human resource degree programs.
