Abstract: Strategic human resource management issue is treated by many authors, following this paper we will try to clarify, to emphasize the role of this concept and how it should be implemented in domestic comapniile. Defining the concept of strategic human resource management, requires perfect understanding of human resource management, the concept referring to the philosophies, policies, procedures and practices related with people management in an organization. The main purpose of human resource management is to add value not only to the process of obtaining, but also to the products and services themselves, together with increasing the level of work quality and creating a better standard of living for the employees.The human resources can be considered economical resources and thus a strategy generating costs opprotunities is required. Even though it is very relevant for the huuman resources positions, the HR departments do not welcome the concept of „cost opportunity” probably because the individuals in managing positions consider themselves working with people and not with money or maybe they are specialists regarding the job positions related to the personnel and not regarding the decisions with direct impact on the business. The actual reality proves that the human resource „faults” can largely generate cost opportunities within a company.
