Strategic HR Management
When business owners prepare to open their doors, they define what the organization is going to achieve and develop the actions necessary to fulfill the vision. Strategies are developed and the mission of the organization is determined by the company’s purpose, goals and values. Financial strategies seem to be the primary element to fulfilling the vision, however, overlooking the biggest part of the balance sheet, the employees, could be a mistake most can’t afford to make.
Strategic HR Management is defined as, “Integrating human resource management strategies and systems to achieve the overall mission, strategies, and success of the firm while meeting the needs of employees and other stakeholders.” (Source: Herman Schwind, Hari Das and Terry Wagar, Human Resource Management: A Strategic Approach.)
Meeting the demands of an organization begins with outlining strategic goals and defining operational plans to ensure you have the right people with the right skills at the right time. At HRP we have the tools and resources to help you outline these goals and the experience to help you successfully implement the plan.

Teresa helped us with developing our job descriptions and making sure the positions had the right FLSA classification. She made sure that we understood how to use the information she provided us.
