What is Strategic HR?

While all HR job families operate in line with ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº strategy, goals and mission – the Strategic HR job family represents elements of senior roles which provide direction across different services areas by translating strategic organisational needs into actionable plans – bringing the additional benefits of specialist knowledge of external markets and the evolving nature of work.ÌýMany senior staff have elements of Strategic HR within their roles (e.g. HR Business PartnersÌýand Heads of HR, HR Services Managers and Directors, HR Managers and HR specialists such as Employee Relations, Workplace Health, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), Policy, and Reward).

In this job family senior staff use specialist HR skills and knowledge to create interventions and initiatives to support long-term organisational business outcomes through a strategicÌýframework. This work is present throughout the employee lifecycle – for example, ensuring fair and equitable reward, creating and implementing mental health and well-being strategies, improving employee performance and development, streamlining organisational structure. Ìý

In Ìýpractice the work in this job family could mean driving the formulation of strategic operating plans (from an overarching HR perspective or a particular specialist area such as reward or equality, diversity and inclusion), ensuring the relationship between an organisation and its people is managed through transparent and inclusive communications and engagement, ensuring that HR practices are legally and financially compliant, introducing staff development, remuneration and benefits approaches which are aligned to current and future organisation needs and market conditions.
