Strategic Alignment

The greater the fit between HR and organizational strategies, the more likely it is that positive outcomes will result for the organization. The extent to which these strategies are effectively integrated both vertically and horizontally across the organization the more likely they are to increase the organization’s competitive advantage and performance. Alignment and deployment of human resources are essential to value creation and organizational outcomes.
