HR Philosophy; Policies; Programs; Practices
& Processes
An HR philosophy is how the organization regards its human
resources, what role they play in the success of the overall
business, and how they are to be treated and managed.
HR policies provide guidelines for action on people-related business
issues and for the development of HR programs and practices
based on strategic needs.
HR programs are coordinated HR efforts specifically intended to
initiate, disseminate, and sustain strategic organizational change
efforts necessitated by the strategic business needs.
HR practices include customary behaviors that support strategic
needs.
Finally, HR processes is how all other HR activities are identified,
formulated, and implemented.
