ABSTRACT
The human resource (HR) strategy will guide the development of appropriate and effective performance and rewards management strategies, as well as integrating those strategies with the staffing, development and employee relations strategies adopted by the organization. The HR management strategy utilized by any organization must first and foremost produce the desired results at the individual, group and organization-wide levels. The mission of the organization defines the role it intends to play in producing that end state. The culture of an organization defines how its members see the world; it is a function of their beliefs, values and priorities. The environmental realities faced by an organization at a given point in time should be considered when formulating its strategy. The organizational realities existing at a given point in time will also have a critical impact on what the strategy can be, how it can be executed and what performance levels are achievable.
