What is Strategic Human Resource
Management?
Strategic human resource management – means
formulating and executing human resource policies and
practices that produce the employee competencies and
behaviors the company needs to achieve its strategic aims.
The Shanghai Ritz-Carlton Portman Hotel

Improving Performance: The Strategic
Context
The Shanghai Ritz-Carlton Portman Hotel
• When the Ritz-Carlton Company took over managing the Portman Hotel in
Shanghai, China, the new management reviewed the Portman’s strengths and
weaknesses, and its fast-improving local competitors. They decided that in
order to compete, they had to improve the hotel’s level of service. Achieving
that meant formulating new human resource management plans for hiring,
training, and rewarding hotel employees. It meant putting in place a new
human resource strategy for the Portman Hotel, one aimed at improving
customer service.
• Asian culture is different from that in the United States. For example, team
incentives tend to be more attractive to people in Asia than are individual
incentives. How do you think these cultural differences would have affected
how the hotel’s new management selected, trained, appraised, and
compensated the Shanghai Portman’s employees?

Sustainability and Strategic Human
Resource Management
• Strategic human resource management means having
human resource policies and practices that produce the
employee skills and behaviors that are necessary to
achieve the company’s strategic goals, and these include
sustainability goals.
• i.e. PepsiCo: achieving financial performance while also
achieving human sustainability, environmental
sustainability, and talent sustainability.

What Are HR Audits?
The HR audit generally involves using a checklist to review the
company’s human resource functions (recruiting, testing, training, and so on), as
well as ensuring that the firm is adhering to regulations, laws, and company policies.
• The HR auditor may first review payroll data, focusing on what and
when each employee was paid.
• He or she will then turn to whether the human resource records are in
order
• He or she will also review the employer’s handbooks and policies, for
instance, checking for disability accommodation policies, social
media policies, and family and medical leave policies.
• He or she may also want to benchmark the results to comparable
companies’.
