In order to convince line managers to become more engaged in Human resource functions in the organization, Juanita can explain to them the increased important role of the human resource department in ensuring that the organization achieves its overall mission. She can expound on the increased strategic role that the department plays in ensuring that all the organization and employee’s actions relate to the organization missions and objectives stated in the strategic plan.
