Introduction
HR can be involved in exploring ways to foster both organizational and supervisory support of innovation through assisting with strategic business and individual goal setting while encouraging, supporting, recognizing and rewarding innovative individual and team contributions. Other ways HR can take a lead in this process include channeling the diversity of skills and experiences within the organization, as seen by human capital acquisition and retention strategies and processes, most notably through recruitment and training practices. Lastly, HR can be on the forefront assuring the development and support of policies and practices that encourage a workplace where creativity and innovation thrive.
