21866 Human Resource Management: Concepts and Applications
6cp
Postgraduate

This subject introduces students to the concept that effective management of employment relations, human resources and industrial relations involves far more than discrete activities and involves significant strategic planning and integration with business objectives. The subject combines various theoretical frameworks, historically significant events and experiential activities to give students a rich understanding of the employment relations issues that arise within modern corporations. Topics covered include the processes necessary to attract, retain and manage employees within an organisation as well as legislative and regulatory requirements applying to all organisations. Skills in researching and analysing literature in employment relations are also developed.
