Description
This unit will analyse many of the processes and practices required to effectively conduct a range of people management responsibilities. Human Resource and Employee/Workplace Relations Management are functions receiving significant attention due to increasing statutory compliance and the ongoing competition for the recruitment and retention of "talent". Many of the traditional H.R. activities have been devolved to those managers and executives responsible for the day-to-day management of their staff, requiring the development of a more enhanced skill set as "generalist" managers. This unit will assist in preparing current and future managers and executives to be more effective in such an environment.
