Question

Why is it important for HR management to transform from being primarily administrative and operational to becoming a more strategic contributor?

Answer 1

The organization as a whole has to acknowledge and accept the fact that the role of HR department is not restricted to operational work and has a more valuable role to play in terms of contributing in creating and implementing strategies to fetch fruitful results. Most of the hiring and employee engagement is done by HR department and hence they are at the helm of affairs to keep an organization up and running smoothly and this requires a lot of innovation and creative strategies that can fulfil this purpose rather than just being involved in operational activities.

It is even more important for HR to be a strategic contributor as it will help in retaining the employees, and will increase the amount of skilful and experienced people in the company which will ultimately increase the value of the organization in the market.
