Managing human resources well is important for survival and prosperity of organizations and economies, and has implications for individual attitudes and well-being. Managers are expected to contribute to the delivery of the human resource strategy, supported by expert advice and guidance. This module explores the key concepts underpinning the management of human resources and their practical application in organisations today. We will focus on four important themes within HRM:
· Recruitment and selection
· Equality and diversity
· Flexible employment and work-life balance
· Talent management
You will be encouraged to share your views and experiences through class discussion and debate.

1st attempt: Assessment. The proposed assessment is as follows: 1. An individual Assessment comprising 40% of the total course marks. 2. A group piece comprising 30% of the total course marks 3. An individual Professional Reflective Review comprising 30% of the course marks. The individual assessment (1. and 3. above) is as follows: 1. An individual contribution to a theoretical issue, a case issue or work-based issue (2000 words) – 40% of total course marks. 2. A reflective review of the lessons learned through participation in the course (1500 words or a 5min video/oral presentation) – 30% of the total course marks. Material for these individual assessed elements will be obtained through a series of timetabled individual and group activities complemented by directed reading and own research. The group assessment (2. above) is as follows: A group activity/challenge – 30% of the total course marks. In undertaking the challenge, and in the preparation of the assessed requirements (see on), students are required to keep minutes of their group meetings and record peer contributions. The assessment team as part of the assessment process reviews these minutes along with the reflections on peer contributions. The group-assessed requirements for this course are the co-creation of ‘a guidance paper’ targeted at providing company wide guidance on how to deploy, support and manage human resources in a given scenario (approximately1500 words). Resit: There is no opportunity to resit the group-based assignment. Students may retake the individual coursework assignments within six weeks of having received a coursework grade of less than CAS 9 (or equivalent if CAS is discontinued) together with feedback on performance.
