The aim of this unit is to provide knowledge and understanding of the strategic role of human resource management in organisations and provide a platform for critical evaluation of that role. Various models and frameworks of Human Resource Management are introduced and links to corporate business strategy are drawn. Contemporary developments in key functional areas of HR such as recruitment & selection, training & development, performance management, motivation, job design and remuneration are covered. Using models, frameworks and theory covered students will analyse case studies, diagnose SHRM problems and make recommendations for appropriate courses of action. Students will also cover SHRM issues arising from the growth strategies employed by companies such as globalisation and the changing role of SHRM.
On completion of the course students will be able to:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions including lectures, tutorials, drop-in sessions, discussion boards and other online learning opportunities.
Summative: 3,000 word individual assignment (100%). Formative: reflective diary/assessment plan

How much time the unit requires

Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
