Human Resources Management

Objectives

People are often considered organization s most valuable resources. The perspective taken is that of a manager concerned with the design, implementation and maintenance of HRM strategies to obtain a more motivated and effective workforce.

The HRM course focuses on the strategic dimension of people within organizations; how managers can attract and retain the best suited people; how to develop, evaluate and reward them so that the objectives of the firm are attained. We will deal with these topics from the individual managers perspective and the HR functional perspective. The HRM course is aimed at management students and their future role as managers of people, irrespective of their position within the firm.
