This unit examines the strategic nature of human resource management (HRM) within organisations, building on the foundational coverage of HRM issues and concepts introduced in WORK1003. A central theme explored in this unit is how organisations can best and strategically manage their human resources for the mutual, long-term benefit of both employers and employees. The unit highlights the interplay between strategic focus of HRM and day-to-day processes and practices, including attraction and selection; retention and development; managing performance and rewards; diversity and inclusion; workplace health and well-being; and conflict management. Students in this unit are asked to consider and evaluate many of the ‘big’ people management challenges facing organisations in a rapidly changing economic and social context.
