Strategic Human Resource Development

The difference between HRM & HRD has been covered in a previous post “HRD Vs HRM”

But to gain insight into Learning & Development Processes, that this section deals,with I would like to further explain the concept of Strategic Human Resource Development.

Strategic HRD is essentially a business led approach that encompasses activities & processes to develop people so that it improves individual, team and organizational performance in accordance with how an organizational would like to attain a competitive edge.
It aims to produce a coherent and comprehensive framework which allows an environment conducive to encourage learning & development of people by means of education, training & self-managed learning.

Strategic HRD takes into account individual aims of employees in the context of tapping the latent potential for maximum productivity to improve bottom line results with appropriate support and guidance from within the organization
