Module Aims | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This module provides a broad introduction to human resource management (HRM) in modern organisations and is designed to give business studies students a strong theoretical and practical knowledge of HRM within the context of global economic developments. It provides students with an understanding of the issues involved in the staffing of organisations, including the recruitment and selection of staff, their training and development, and the ways in which their performance can be assessed and rewarded. The module also affords students the opportunity to identify, assess and develop the key skills which will greatly enhance their employability throughout their career, and enables them to make more informed career decisions and thus prepare effectively for future employment opportunities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
