The strategic HRM theory helps to understand
the fact that human resource management of a company does make a considerable
impact on performance of a company with the help of its employees. If employees
will perform well enough with desired functions, then strategic HRM will come
up with great results for a company. It
means that employees’ relationship with their company is a crucial part of
their strategic HRM. So, companies apply this kind of theory to enhance the
performance of their employees so that they can deliver great results for them.
The employees are involved with different departments and when their individual
performance is improved, the overall performance of the company does also
improve significantly. So, if a company is trying to expand its business reach
to international destinations, then they have to keep theory of strategic HRM
in their planning to keep things on right track (Uysal 2015)
Keeping this theory in view, it is
important for Agnico Company that their expansion to South African gold mine
business is managed through this theory, because it helps to develop processes,
which are relevant to any kind of work force. The theory comes with strategic
direction, which is crucial for them to continue their expansion across the
world including South Africa. They must also understand the fact that gold
output in South Africa has been on the lower side in recent few years, and
trend is most likely to continue (Holmes 2019).
So, they should need great commitment and support from their employees to work
day and night in South African business line so that company can continue its
great success pattern, which started in Canada. They need to involve leaders
and managers from Canada to work with local work force in South Africa so that strategic
purpose of the company can be achieved.
