To provide context to your plan, write an introduction that includes:

After writing your introduction, identify and explore the strategic direction of your department, and the role HR plays in achieving the department’s strategic objectives. Matters that you may refer to are: the definition of HR as relevant to your department; the National Development Plan; all relevant legislation; the strategic HR framework; general aspects of the HR value chain and the key activities of HR; and the role of leadership in achieving the strategic objectives.
