Description

This course focuses on the application of human resource management strategies and practices in real settings. Attention is also given to the role of human resource planning and approaches to strategic human resource management.

The effective management and sustainability of the human resource is a major concern of any organisation.  This course examines some of the specific actions organisations take in order to effectively manage their human resources.

Reviewing and building on the body of HRM knowledge gained in MGMT 207, the course focuses on the application of human resource management strategies and practices in real settings.  Attention is also given to the role of human resource planning and approaches to strategic human resource management.  A scenario and case-based approach is used, including real examples of successful human resource management practices used in successful New Zealand and Australian businesses.

Learning Outcomes

The desired learning outcomes for this course are for students to be able to demonstrate the ability to:
1. Analyse situations in organisational settings and determine what problems exist, determine which HRM systems may have bearing on the problem, and determine what interventions (e.g., changes to HRM systems) are appropriate responses.
2. Show how responses to individual employee and HRM system issues must be aligned with and can contribute to the overall strategic direction of the organisation
3. Apply knowledge of HRM systems in developing an organisation's Strategic HR Plan through developing an outline of such a plan for a case situation.
