Description This module focuses on the nature of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) and Employee Engagement in organisations. It analyses the topic based on the following key themes: (1) the strategic role of HR in the organisation; (2) the role of the HR function/ HR professional in strategic HRM; (3) designing and aligning HR systems for high performance; (4) linking HR practices to performance; (5) the role of employees who are at the ‘receiving end’ of these HR practices; (6) a critical overview of SHRM research. The module examines the nature of HR strategies, systems and practices and the theories underpinning the creation of HR systems that may lead to high performance. It also evaluates the strategic importance of the HR practices that comprise these systems in engaging employees. Finally, at a practical level, the module provides a research-focused/ evidence-based appraisal that will enable participants to critically evaluate and re-configure the role of HR in their own organisations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
