Competitive Edge and HR Management

• WHY ARE PEOPLE IMPORTANT?

competitive advantage is about differentiation and that can only

come from fully deploying all the human resources available, and

organisations can achieve this in a variety of different strategies.

this requires HR to move strongly away from its traditional personnel

‘cost centre’ approach and towards a HR strategy that sees people

as a long-term investment.

• Trend of devolving the roles of HR management to line managers

‘……..the importance of active management of people matters become

more clearly an integral part of every line manager’s job. Line managers

must combine their commitment to the technical aspects of task

completion with attention to people aspects and recognise the

symbiotic nature of these two elements of the managerial role’
