Strategic HRM is a comprehensive approach within the field of human resources that aligns HR practices and policies with an organization's strategic goals and objectives. It involves integrating HR functions and decisions into the broader strategic planning process to enhance organizational performance, competitiveness, and sustainability.

Example
In a manufacturing company aiming to expand into new global markets, Strategic HRM would involve identifying the need for a diverse workforce to understand and cater to various cultural nuances. HR would then create recruitment strategies and training programs to attract and develop employees with international experience, aligning HR efforts with the company's strategic goal of global expansion.
