This paper analyzes how senior managers, line managers, and individual employees benefit from the successful HR strategy activities. Human resource department is vital in an organization since it helps these stakeholders in various ways; primarily aiming at improving the company’s productivity. Conflict resolution is one of the universal benefits that these three groups acquire from the various HR Strategy activities. On the other hand, the human resource requires support, collaboration, and tolerance from the stakeholders.
Senior management
Importantly, the top administration of an organization is the biggest beneficiary of successful HR strategy. Since senior management controls the whole business, it will realize the following benefits.
Low costs and efficiency in managing employees; these includes factors such as short hiring process, getting top-notch talent, low costs of managing individual workers, precise results in all transactions, and lowered absenteeism cases (Reilly and Williams 131).
Good reputation in the market; workers will strive to build a brand, the company will get awards for excellence performance, impressive reports from the press and employees will not oppose the business's strategies.
Development of leaders; senior management will benefit from increased production, small investments in training leaders and smooth internal succession systems (Personnel Today n.p.). Cultures and value promotion; the senior management will benefit from continued success since the HR will promote the company’s culture and value.
Line Managers
Line managers report to the top management so they should closely monitor and audit the employees. However, these managers work in close association with the HR, so they enjoy the following benefits.
Professional guidance and advice; services such as constant training programs add more value to the line managers (Personnel Today n.p.).
Management services; the HR assists line managers in the administration and monitoring the employees.
Hiring the required talent at the right time; through the HR, recruitment is done at the right time and lower costs.
Handling aspects of engagement and motivation with the workplace; the HR helps in collection of information like labor turnover, the level of commitment, attendance and auditing the factors that cause these trends (Withers, Williamson, and Reddington 138).
Getting learning opportunities; the line managers will learn various skills such as effective investment programs, participation and how to handle fellow employees. Further, line managers benefit by achieving general personal development due to individual guidance and discussion.
Individual employees
Essentially, employees benefit a lot from the HR since they are the central part of an organization. The prime advantage is career development trough training and advice (Reilly and Williams 31). Also, individual workers get salary increment recommendations, bonuses, and allowances. Personal development and leadership skills are also other ways that the employees benefit from the HR (Personnel Today n.p.). Individual workers also benefit from favorable job contracts such as paid vacations, health insurance and job protection due to protective contracts. An individual employee also learns how to relate and conduct themselves in the workplace. Successful HR strategy activities help in resolving conflicts between workers so they will acquire good ethics.
Senior managers, line managers and individual are all beneficiaries of a respectful, and collaborative workplace created by the HR. Ideally, the HR achieves that by solving conflicts between individual employees or between the management and workers. Additionally, the human resource helps clarify ethics and values of the company to these three groups.
Conclusion
As these stakeholders (senior managers, line managers, and individual employees) acquire the above benefits from HR strategy activities, the human resource, in turn, expects collaboration from these groups. Most importantly, a good relationship between various stakeholders and the human resource ensures maximum benefits. Conclusively, HR is an essential department in every business that wants to realize improved performance.
