Human Resources strategy is based on a composite of management planning policies, organizational need reviews, performance reviews and initiatives, and business situations defined by management. The practical applications of Human Resources strategies are generally only noticeable at the training level.

The plan is designed to:

• Identify training needs
• Identify staffing needs
• Deal with performance issues by creating training options
• Meet skills requirements (new technology, systems, etc.)
• Staff development

Human Resources strategy may contribute to restructuring based on costs, productivity, staffing levels, payroll budget, and related issues.

• Planned skills training and upgrades
• Mandatory courses like Equal Opportunity Emergency drills and OHS.
• Local systems training plans
• Orientation plans
• Multi skilling training programs
• Organizational plans for training
