Human resource management involves the management of human capital to create a competitive advantage. It’s a crucial function in medium and large organisations in domestic and international contexts.
The Human Resource Management major will prepare you to respond to new challenges and changes in the workplace. It focuses on the processes and techniques that create and maintain high-performing, efficient and ethical organisations. You’ll engage in aspects of day-to-day operations, strategic thinking and decision making. You’ll study change management and sustainability techniques, gain consulting skills, and learn how to formulate effective recruitment strategies. Areas that you’ll acquire expertise in include workforce and succession planning, equity and diversity, performance management and human resource development systems, and the creation of sustainable and ethical organisations.
