HRM40890 Strategies for HR (Mod)
Academic Year 2023/2024
To operate effectively within the world today, no matter what the organisation, an understanding of people and people management is one of the most important, if not the most important, resources at an organisation’s disposal. This is the discipline of human resource management (HRM).HRM has witnessed a great deal of transformation over the past five decades and while techniques and styles may have changed and evolved during that time, the notion of achieving organisational goals through its people has remained the same.
The reality, however, is that there is no single best way to manage employees and the path chosen will depend on many variables that may change over time. This course seeks to examine the tensions and ambiguities commonly associated with human resource management by reviewing the theory and practice of HRM today, and to understand the role of the human resource function and line managers to deliver sustainable organisation capability and innovation through its people.
