Identify an organization you are familiar with (such as from your work experience or from your textbook).Describe one reason why strategic planning is important to your chosen organization.Provide an example.

There are at least two reasons why strategic HR planning is so important: (1) employees help an organization achieve success because they are strategic resources, and (2) the planning process itself results in improved goal attainment.
Example: Strategic HRM can improve an organization’s performance. The goals of these HRM strategies are to shape employee behaviour so that it is consistent with the direction the organization identifies in its strategic plans. An articulated vision for the future may result in a more effective organization through increased motivation and performance, lowered absenteeism and turnover, and heightened stability, satisfaction, and involvement.
