These plans and aims imply certain workforce requirements, in terms of the employee skills and behaviors required to achieve the firm s strategic aims. Given these workforce requirements, human resource manage-ment formulates  HR strategies (policies and practices) to produce the desired workforce skills, competencies, and behaviors.
