- Inhoud
In the course Principles of Human Resource Management students develop a general understanding of how human resource decisions contribute to individual, team, and organizational effectiveness, and to a firm’s sustained competitive advantage. This knowledge can be applied in small, medium, and large firms, as well as non-profits. The course covers topics such as:
- The historical background of HRM,
- HR roles,
- Strategic HRM (SHRM),
- Work analysis and competency modeling,
- Recruitment and employer branding,
- Personnel selection and assessment,
- Performance appraisal and management,
- Training and development,
- Compensation and benefits,
- Careers,
- Employee well-being.
The course approaches the management of human resources from a strategic perspective. The strategic perspective describes how each of the basic HR functions has its own part within the overall strategic plan of the organization and contributes to organizational performance. The course further takes an evidence-based approach to HRM which aims to help students in developing critical judgment in making decisions that impact the well-being and performance of organizations and employees.
