🔘 Human Resource Management is a sub discipline of Business & Management studies. HRM is an essential part of any business and deals with recruiting the right people for the right positions, as well as managing and offering guidance for employees during their stay in a company. As a future Human Resource Manager, it will be your job to make sure that the people you hire stay happy, motivated, continue to develop and advance professionally in the roles that fit them.
Human Resource Management teaches theories and practices related to hiring processes, administrative services, performance management, staff administration, and training.
HRM students learn how to motivate and enhance employees’ contribution in order to maximize the productivity of an organization. Courses focus on organizational behavior, and how it can be used to create a positive atmosphere within companies. An important skill in this field is managing people according to different workplace cultures. This involves flexibility and understanding in order to adapt to social and work environments, while also strengthening the company culture values.
It’s also important to be aware and predict how decisions made by the company influence employees’ behavior. It may also be your responsibility to offer counselling on how to minimize the negative impact of less popular decisions within the company you work for.
Students who graduate Human Resource Management can engage in the following careers: human resource officer, office manager, occupational psychologist, career adviser, recruitment consultant, training and development officer, and others.
