Human Resource management is a central function of any organisation. Generally, 50 percent or more of an organisation’s operating budget is used to pay the people who work there. HR management can be defined as the effective use of human capital in an organisation through the management of people-related activities. It involves leadership, values, employment planning, recruiting and selecting employees, training and compensating them, and evaluating their performance. It also significantly influences the corporate culture and norms.

HRM is divided into six instructional units, each of which represents a different set of human resource management functions. Each instructional unit involves lectures, class discussions, relevant HBR article presentations, case studies, and reading.

Students will access lecture content by session, summative assessment assignments (guidelines and templates), and evaluation criteria, via the Course Pack Website.

Turnitin: All written assignments must be submitted directly to Turnitin. Referencing: All written assignments must be in strict compliance with the UBI Referencing Guidelines.
