It is important for an organization to align the strategic goals with the human capital competency. It is never easy to implement the workforce strategies in the organization. Most organizations put more effort on the hiring and training of the employees without putting much emphasis on succession planning. Aligning the strategic goals with human capital enables succession planning that is imperative for developing and maintaining the organizational success. Succession planning in the organization leads to the development of strong organizational leadership. Strong leadership, in turn, leads to increased competencies and skills of the employees who can manage the organization towards achieving the stipulated goals. Aligning the organization's strategic goals with the human capital requirements supports the leadership transition and smooth running of the organization. It is imperative to align the organization's strategic goals with the human capital competency requirements so as to understand job-specific competency modeling that supports the development of an efficient performing workforce that understands every bit required to succeed in the job (Armstrong & Taylor, 2014).

Aligning the strategic goal and the human capital requirements in the organization helps in the creation of an organization that understands its available competencies. Aligning the organization's goals and the human capital also translates directly to the workforce competencies and the job profiles of the employees. The alignment is also critical for the business and human resource interventions required to sustain and grow the organization. The alignment helps in understanding how the organizational-level competency defines the unique strengths of the individual employee and enable the organization to capitalize on the aspects and make necessary improvement and stay competitive. The alignment assists in identifying the ideal workforce required to support the firm’s strategic direction and help the organization to make the right decision on how to build the competitive workforce (Dess, Lumpkin & Eisner, 2014).
