Human Resource Management is the strategic process of effectively managing people within a business or organisation. To this end, some of the functions of human resources may include: recruitment, health and safety, payroll and compensation, workplace compliance, induction and orientation for new starts, training and development, disciplinary measures and job appraisal/review.
Due to the fact that there are many different aspects to Human Resource Management, a graduate with a Certificate in Human Resource Management can afford to specialise in a particular area, like recruitment consultant, labour relations manager, training practitioner or payroll officer. You could also choose to work on a consultancy basis for smaller companies who do not have their own HR Department.
Human Resource Management is important because it is designed to maximise staff performance and productivity in line with organisation’s key business objectives and strategy. It’s also the means by which to reinforce the company’s culture.
