Strategic HRM Technique

Question: Discuss about the Strategic HRM Technique. Answer: Introduction The main role of the human resource management team is to suggest the management team how to strategically manage the individuals as part of the business resources. The role of the human resource management is to successfully implement an international business strategy in a global organization. The human resource management helps the business to enhance the competitive advantage which in turn helps in increasing the capability of the company (Bratton and Gold 2012). This assignment deals with strategic HRM technique while dealing with international business. Role of International Human Resource Management (IHRM): The main role of the IHRM is to enhance the effectiveness of an employee in order to achieve the goal of the organization in international sector. The IHRM laid diverse importance on organization training to deal varied employees (Stahl et al. 2012). Issues: Cross Cultural Management WM Data and Ericsson is a Swedish Multinational Company that faced the cross-cultural problem related to HRM when it started operating in India. One of the major issues that was faced by the company was the misunderstanding related to communication. The managers of both Sweden and India faced a communication gap and this was mainly because the Indian managers possessed a good communication skill in English. However, the Swedish managers were not good in their English communication skills. This in turn led to numerous misunderstanding between the managers (Maki 2016). Expatriate Management Policy and Staffing Policy Another example is the UAE Expatriate Management Policy in HRM. The HRM policy that is faced in UAE is mainly the expatriate management policy. However, the HR managers may find it difficult to get the expatriates from other countries. On the one hand, the government in UAE allows expatriate management policies that need expatriate workers in top ranking positions. However, on the other hand the expatriate management policy of a firm in the UAE requires the hiring of the local employees in order to ensure that the guideline of the country is satisfied (Afiouni et al. 2014). UAE mainly follows the polycentric staffing policy; however the concluding choice depends on the precise choice of the organization at the time of the completion of the staffing policy approach. Strategies to overcome the problem The strategies to overcome the cross cultural problems are as follows: 1. In order to overcome the cross cultural differences, it is very important to provide Cross cultural training and development training on cross-culture to the employees. 2. The second strategy is to involve the diversity policy that is to manage the cultural diversity. The diversity policies will help to ignore the cultural differences as well as manage the cultural differences. Conclusion It can thus be concluded that the culture has a strong influence on the behavior of the employees and also their attitudes. The human resource management helps the business to enhance the competitive advantage which in turn helps in increasing the capability of the company.
