    This is good article. It’s good for the include disadvantage of SHRM also,
    disadvantages of SHRM:
    1. Time-consuming and expensive: Implementing SHRM necessitates a major time and money commitment. Smaller firms or those with tighter funds may find this difficult.
    2. Resistance to change: HR practices and policies frequently undergo considerable changes as a result of SHRM. These changes may be met with resistance from the workforce, which can weaken morale.
    3. Difficulty in assessing results: In the short term, it can be challenging to gauge the success of SHRM programs. Due to this, it may be challenging to convince stakeholders of SHRM's worth.
    4. Lack of flexibility: Because SHRM promotes a long-term outlook, it may make it more difficult for an organization to adapt to sudden changes in the business environment.
    5. An excessive focus on metrics: In some instances, SHRM may promote an excessive focus on metrics and the use of quantitative data to gauge the success of HR initiatives. This could result in a focus on short-term objectives and a disregard for qualitative elements that are crucial for employee satisfaction and well-being.
    Overall, while there are some disadvantages to Strategic Human Resource Management, the benefits of aligning HR practices and policies with the organization’s strategic goals and objectives can lead to a more effective and successful organization.
