Transformation comes to manufacturing firms in different dimensions such as new leadership, advance technology, merger, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, regulatory compliance or reaction to changes in market conditions. The study tests these hypotheses that strategic human resource management has positive effect on organizational expansion; that human resource management challenges can increase labour turnover. Data were sourced from both secondary and primary sources. The data were analyzed using tables, percentage, mean and chi-square. It was found out that the practice of strategic human resource management is that people are the organization’s key resource and organizational expansion largely depends on them. It was also found out human resource management practices such as poor selection, inadequate training, low morale and lack of motivation can trigger employee low performance and labour turnover. It was recommended that an appropriate range of human resource policies and processes should be developed and implemented effectively to enable employees make a substantial effect on firm productivity. The implication of the study is that unless a firm can attract, retain, develop, manage and motivate its employees it will be more difficult for the firm to meet the increasing demand for service improvement, modernization and high performance.
