Abstract:
This paper focuses on three main themes. Firstly, what is Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the rhetoric surrounding it? Secondly, does the reality match the rhetoric? Thirdly, is the model that has been adopted by the private sector an appropriate model for the Australian public sector to be using? HR has been criticised for being an administrative function that is regulatory and compliance based, adding little value to an organisation. SHRM provides a strategic focus, involving the partnering of HR and line areas to provide value added people services. SHRM has been described by

A gestão de pessoas é fator sine qua non no mundo corporativo, o qual se encontra em constante mutação. A justificativa deste estudo de caso considera ainda que é demandado às organizações perspicácia de maneira a se despirem de antigas fórmulas de sucesso e se reinventarem na busca da sobrevivência e, quiçá, do almejado crescimento.

Abstract:
Nowadays, organisations are seeking to understand how one of the last truly competitive resources, their human resources, can be managed for competitive advantage (Allen and Wright, 2006). As Wright and McMahan (2011) state, today an organisation’s human resources have become more important than ever to their success. Consequently, a better understanding is needed of the role of HRM in creating better organisational performance.

O mercado atual reflete um ambiente global, complexo, altamente competitivo e volátil para as organizações, o que, no campo da gestão de pessoas, se traduz em desafios relacionados à escassez de profissonais bem qualificados e especializados. Pesquisas internacionais e nacionais do final da década de 1990 e dos anos 2000, dedicadas à área da gestão de pessoas, apontam frequentemente que, para se manter nessa realidade de aumento da concorrência global pelo emprego e a busca por Talentos, as organizações teriam que investir em atrair, desenvolver e reter os melhores profissionais.
