Human Resource Management (E87) (Taught)

This qualification begins by examining the research and theory about the work of HR professionals and helps develop the skills needed to be an effective HR professional. You’ll explore the contexts within which HR strategies and policies are developed, the choices an organisation may make about its HR strategy, and the implications of adopting the different strategies.
