Corporate strategy is critical in aligning culture, competencies, and efforts to meet organizational goals. HR can be involved at various levels in high-level strategy, as well as the functional HR unit strategy. Key to this is HR's role in ensuring that the functional unit strategy is driven by and adheres to the corporate-level strategic goals. This course will give you an overview of corporate strategy, the strategic planning process, and tools used in collecting strategic information. The course contents are based on the Body of Competency and Knowledge (BoCK), 2015 of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). While this course helps learners prepare for the SHRM-CP/SCP certification exams, it is equally useful for HR professionals who want to improve their effectiveness in the workplace and advance their careers.
