HRM2001L Human Resource Management: Strategy & Policy

Academic Year 2023/2024

This module will provide students with a comprehensive overview of the key aspects of the strategic management of human resources. Among the areas covered are: strategic HRM; talent management; human resource development, reward and performance management; strategies for retaining staff and strategies for downsizing an organisation; and HRM and corporate social responsibility. The module provides for the blending of its theory and practice contents with the collective workplace experiences of the participants. To this end participants will be expected to contribute critical reflection on their workplace experiences along with collaborative interpretation of such experiences in both classroom and study group settings. Advance preparation for classes and workshops will be an important feature, with readings and questions for reflection assigned at the commencement of the trimester.
