Summary

No matter how well defined it is, the strategic staffing process is helpful only when it is implemented effectively. Always follow the focused approach B. Carefully define the roles and responsibilities of line managers and HR staff, both for the initial implementation and on an ongoing basis. Work and communicate with line managers to avoid implementation obstacles. And finally, make sure that you don’t end up impeding your own implementation by approaching strategic staffing from the wrong perspective.
