And hence managing, selecting and recruiting potential candidates for a smooth flow of operations.
It provides the information regarding strategies that has been planned by the organization to accomplish their desired goals and objectives. Stakeholders of an organization play a vital role in making effective decisions for the development of strategies (Cascio, 2018). Strategic plan involves the regular set of activities that are performed in an organization. These activities are analyzed and accordingly, strategies are developed. The main aim of a strategic plan is to overcome challenges that are faced by an organization such as by hiring efficient candidates, managing cost etc. This helps the most to the management of an organization. The employment of strategies is guided to be used effectively. An operational plan can be formulated using strategic plan.
This type of plan is implemented by the organization that keeps track of the each and every business activity performed in an organization. An operational plan is developed using preferences of a strategic plan (Chew and Sharma, 2005). Operational plans can be changed according to the requirements that need to be accomplished. The high-level executives are responsible for producing an operational plan. The activities like what, who, when, what and how much companies require to improve the performance level in an organization.
- What- the strategies and tasks that must be undertaken
- Who – the persons who have a responsibility of each of the strategies/tasks
- When- the timelines in which strategies/tasks must be completed(Derous and De Fruyt, 2016)
- How much – the number of financial resources provided to complete each strategy/task

Refreshments, accommodation are some of the interview expenses that need to be managed effectively.

The recruitment policies are also beneficial to attract the sufficient number of employees for a job role. This is a kind of approach that needs to be constructed in an appropriate way. The candidates will be judged according to the skills they have, their qualification, preferred location, salary and the job role. The job opportunity will be provided equally for all the candidates.

The development of HR policies is not profitable to the organizations because these help the organization to construct better working environment when hiring candidates. Losses are counted only when the expenses are made for interviews (Hjartardóttir and Lundeborg, 2017). The HR policies are important to have an effective communication between high-level executives to stand on a decision. To enhance the business operations and to provide training to the staff members. Senior managers develop a statement for proposed HR policy using a draft which is forwarded to other high-level executives of an organization. They contribute to the decision-making process to finalize the policy statement. Establishment of an HR policy is done by taking permission from legislative authorities.
