Human resource professionals recognize the importance of practicing strategic HR—applying HR practices and principles to their organization’s overall business strategy—but not many practice it, according to a recent survey.
Sixty percent of 1,030 HR and non-HR U.S. business leaders surveyed in October 2015 for software management company BambooHR said that HR spends more time performing administrative and maintenance tasks than strategic tasks. Lack of resources—especially financial and software resources—and administrative demands stopped them from practicing strategic HR, they reported.
