Which lever is most closely associated with using HR policies to ensure the organization has the needed workforce capabilities to reach its goals?

• A. STRATEGIC RESULTS LEVER
• B. EMPLOYEE COSTS LEVER
• C. HR DEPARTMENT LEVER
• D. LEADERSHIP AND NAVIGATION

Answer: (A)

This item tests how HR policies are used to build the workforce capabilities needed to achieve the organization’s goals. The Strategic Results Lever is about aligning HR practices with strategic outcomes, turning workforce planning, competency development, recruitment, training, performance management, and succession into tangible results. When HR policies are designed to create the capabilities that drive goal achievement, they fit this lever best. The other levers don’t center on this direct link between HR policies and building essential capabilities. Focusing on employee costs is about controlling labor expenses rather than developing capabilities. The HR department lever concerns the internal operations of the HR function itself. Leadership and navigation deals with guiding the organization, not specifically tying HR policies to workforce capability development to reach goals.
