Description

The human element is central to any organisation's success. This Human Resource Management module equips you to become a strategic partner in a company's journey. Spread conveniently over evenings, this course delves into the evolution and core functions of HR, exploring its impact on achieving business goals. You'll examine the concept of strategic HR and its role in aligning employee skills and development with overall business strategy.

We'll explore the crucial process of human resource planning, including strategies for managing both labour shortages and surpluses, ensuring you're prepared for any workforce scenario. Keeping employees engaged is key - you'll learn the importance of organisational motivation and unlock a range of training and development methods. The course will delve into the benefits of a well-structured training plan, ensuring you can empower employees with the skills they need to thrive.

Effective performance management is essential for employee growth and organisational success. We'll evaluate what constitutes good performance management systems and reward structures. You'll also explore the role of effective grievance and discipline handling in fostering a positive and productive work environment.

This module goes beyond theory. You'll learn about the theoretical basis for Industrial Relations and its practical application in today's business landscape. Develop practical skills by crafting essential HR documents like job specifications, person specifications, and interview marking sheets. You'll devise an interview strategy for a specific vacancy, ensuring a fair and compliant hiring process.

By the end of this module, you'll be equipped to formulate performance management systems, grievance and discipline strategies, and solve a range of HR challenges in real-world scenarios. You'll graduate with the confidence and practical skills to support the effective operation of a human resource department and become a valuable asset to any organisation.
