Dave Ulrich's HR Model

Dave Ulrich's HR Model views human resources as a strategic partner essential to a company's success. It identifies four key roles: HR as a strategic partner aligning HR strategies with business goals; HR as an employee advocate ensuring workforce needs are met; HR as an administrative expert streamlining HR processes; and HR as a change agent facilitating organizational change. This model emphasizes that effective HR practices support business performance, foster a positive workplace culture, and help organizations adapt to market shifts. It encourages HR professionals to work collaboratively across functions to create value and drive sustainable growth.
