HR strategy
The Managing Director described their approach to developing the HR strategy as follows:

Our HR strategy has to respond to our business needs. The challenge for HR is to look at all the areas it encompasses and make sure they are integrated into the main plan. One of the problems this company used to have up to a few years ago was that HR strategy was seen as something completely separate from corporate strategy. What we have tried to do in the past few years is to make them one and the same thing. So we start with a business plan; we know we are going to grow at a certain rate. Then we do a skills audit and predict how many managers we are going to need. Out of this comes our HR development policy on skills training, leadership training and recruitment.
