Abstract: Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) in Multinational Corporations (MNCs) has become a vital tool for aligning human capital with global business objectives. This paper examines the integration of SHRM practices in MNCs, exploring their impact on organizational performance, employee engagement, and cross-cultural effectiveness. By reviewing literature, case studies, and empirical evidence, the study highlights the strategic role of human resource policies in achieving competitive advantage and sustaining global operations. Findings reveal that effective SHRM practices improve workforce productivity, enhance cultural integration, and facilitate knowledge transfer across international subsidiaries. The paper also discusses challenges such as cultural diversity, regulatory compliance, and global talent management, and provides recommendations for enhancing HR strategies in multinational contexts.
