New technologies, changing economic conditions, increasing workforce diversity and an emphasis on work-life balance are all contributing to a profound evolution in the nature of work and the challenges of managing contemporary organisations. Human resource management is concerned with all aspects of managing people in organisations.

The human resource management professional is responsible for an organisation’s most valued assets-—the people working there.

You will learn from real-world lecturers about the skills required when managing people in organisations, including recruitment, performance and reward systems, employment relations and staff development.

You will also be equipped with an understanding of the legal context for employment relationships and understand both individual and organisational behaviours and responsibilities.

You will explore and critique real-world cases and projects; develop strategic policies for organisations; and analyse, diagnose and provide recommendations for implementing organisational change.

In your capstone unit, Personal and Professional Development, you will acquire knowledge in the areas of self-management and the management of others to contribute to organisational performance. You will also develop personal, interpersonal and group skills as a way to apply the knowledge base you’ve gained throughout your studies in professional settings.

If you’re interested in helping others reach their full potential and believe that work-life should be satisfying and fulfilling, you’re on track for a career in human resource management.

Career outcomes

Your degree will position you for a career that may include contributing to staff attraction, retention, learning and development, organisational change and consultancy. You will be ready for a career leading the people dimensions of organisations, both strategically and operationally.
