About the course
Human Resources and Employment Relations explores how the proper management of employees contributes towards organisational effectiveness, asking questions such as:
- How do we find the right employees?
- How do we keep them?
- How do we motivate employees to maximise their performance?
- How do we assess employee performance?
In addition, students will examine the organisation of work, management of employees, role of unions, development of co-operation and negotiation, and ways in which conflict can emerge and be managed.
