| Description |
In this course, we present a thematic overview of the thinking and research evidence in the field of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM). We explore how to align human resources management with the strategy of the organization by exploring topics related to job design and high performance work practices, health and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, performance appraisal, and sustainable employability. This will enable you as students to develop your own understanding of the field and inform your practice as an organizational member (as employee, employer, HR professional or other stakeholder). We believe that knowing more about the (successful) interaction between strategy and human resource management provides you, as a student of this course and as a future graduate entering the workplace, with a powerful base for making positive contributions to organizations and society as a whole.
