HRM3002H Managing Diversity in Employment
Academic Year 2023/2024
Successful management of a diverse workforce is integral to companies seeking to improve and sustain their competitive advantage. Diversity management extends beyond the traditional concepts of 'equal opportunities' and compliance with equality legislation. This module is designed to equip students with an understanding of the dynamics of employee diversity and issues of equality in employment. Module topics are designed to enable an understanding of labour force change with regard to gender and minorities, theories of inequality in employment, and to offer different perspectives on the contemporary debates on equality and diversity. The success of equality and diversity policies depends on their integration into both the organisation's strategy and a number of cases will be used to discuss and analyse such integration.Show/hide contentOpenClose All
