HR STRATEGIES DEFINED

resource management practices with its overall business goals and objectives. These strategies typically
involve a comprehensive approach to managing an organization's workforce, including recruitment,
training and development, performance management, compensation, and employee engagement.
Effective HR strategies are critical to achieving organizational success, as they help to ensure

talent, develop a high-performance culture, and foster employee engagement and satisfaction.
