Human resource management is concerned with the effective management of people and is a challenge faced by all organisations. Although operational and technical excellence are fundamental to ensuring continuous customer satisfaction, the effective management of human resources also plays an important role in gaining and maintaining organisational success.

There is no one 'best' way to manage an an organisation's human resources. This course aims to examine the tensions and ambiguities commonly associated with HRM. Each of the core HR policy areas will be explored and students will be encouraged to critically assess recent trends and developments in HRM.
