Primary data was collected by use of questionnaires while secondary data was collected from firms' strategic plans, productivity profiles and from inventories. The collected data was analyzed by the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 12.0). The study found that once business strategies are decided upon, human resource strategies that complement and justify them have to be formulated and implemented.
The study established that strategic fit leads to several synergies to the organization among them, enhanced employee commitments, flexibility and improved employee productivity. All these are crucial competitive advantage for an organization. The research recommends that HR strategies need to be explicit and clearly stated. Transnational tea firms in Kenya should outsource the non-core activities and should have a well grafted balance between the use of Tea harvesting machines and handpicking of tea.
