INTRODUCTION In the fields of management and business, strategic human resource management (SHRM) has been a powerful and influential tool for motivating employees to work productively. (Ejim, Esther, 2013). According to Armstrong (2011), SHRM refers to the way the company uses to address its strategic objectives through people with a combination of human resource policies and practices. The purpose of SHRM is to produce strategic capability that the organization must ensure that employees are qualified, engaged and well motivated in order to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage (Armstrong, 2011). In particular, the organization must be able to carefully plan strategic human resources ideas aimed at increasing productivity. The Importance of SHRM The organization must carefully select and support employees who will be able to achieve the organization's goals. The important role in the organization is people, which cannot be underestimated enough because they are the driving force behind the goal of any organization. (Ester Ejim, 2013). According to Becker and Huselid (2006), SHRM focuses on organizational performance rather than individual performance. SHRM also encourages managers to be more proactive in thinking about the future. The objective of SHRM according to Armstrong (2011) is the environment, the organization, the human resource (personnel) analyst must ensure that people in the organization have sufficient knowledge, skills and abilities to achieve the objectives.2.

The example reported by United from the late 1980s showed that “less productive parts have been moved overseas, leading to decreased employment while retaining higher value-added parts. As a result, all productivity increased, while the tradable sector increased employment” (Spence and Hlatshwayo,2011). Conclusion Strategic human resource management becomes more important in the organization. It offers the company many benefits in terms of competitive advantages, however, there are also some challenges that the organization needs to look into. There are some strategies that help the organization minimize challenges such as training and compensation for employees affected by offshoring. Therefore, when organizations apply SHRM, they will face some complications.
