This course provides an overview of the principles and practices of Human Resource Development (HRD), including current trends in the Asia-Pacific region.
How people develop their skills and improve their performance is not just a function of their personal motivation or the excellence of their training. It is also a function of the quality of their work environment, the quality of the leadership they receive, and the quality of the programmes and processes organisations have in place to support them. This course covers these key HRD issues. We also discuss contemporary issues in HRD, including differences within the Asia-Pacific region.Students will learn to design, implement, and evaluate HRD interventions and complete a project that addresses a real situation requiring a HRD intervention.
The desired learning outcomes for this course include knowledge, comprehension, analysis, and application related to HRD. Knowledge and comprehension outcomes include an understanding of:1. The origins and purpose of HRD, and how it is a major factor in international, national, educational, and organisational contexts.2. Key HRD issues at the organisational level and the importance of the work environment in HRD and the key role of line managers in HRD.3. Key HRD issues at the individual employee level, including those in orientation and socialisation, training and development.4. The range of interventions beyond training that may be required for optimum organisational and individual performance.5. Contemporary issues that impact HRD, such as boundaryless careers and employee mobility, the challenges presented by a global workforce, HRD for the contingent workforce, and work-life balance.The analysis and application outcome is to demonstrate the ability to design, implement, and evaluate a HRD intervention in a real setting. This will be documented by a semester project including a proposal and a final report.
