Strategic Human Resource Management

Course Overview

In an age where value is increasingly created by scarce and skilled personnel, the management of human resources is critical to organisational success. At the same time, the attitude of the workforce is changing, people are becoming more critical of their employers, demanding and mobile. Organisations themselves are evolving to new forms and structures which are potentially more productive, yet more fragile. Consequently, the role and responsibilities of HR management are both expanding and highly visible to executive management. Strategic Human Resource Management is designed to enable participants to apply a unique, practical and comprehensive approach to the strategic management of people in their own organisation. Participants will learn new techniques for managing people and identify pathways to enhanced performance and sustainable long term success. The knowledge and skills gained from this program will allow participants to become effective, strategic HR leaders.
