Course Description

"Human Resource Management is the strategic approach to the effective management of people in a company or organization such that they help their business gain a competitive advantage." - Wikipedia

Human Resource Management is a business function!

PEOPLE (Human Capital) is an integral part of the success of every organization. With the RIGHT PEOPLE, an organization can achieve organic business growth and profitability.

“It goes without saying that no company, small or large, can win over the long run without energized employees who believe in the mission and understand how to achieve it.” – Jack Welch, former CEO of GE

The main role of human resources is to facilitate the alignment of human capital with organizational goals.

Human resource management activities are carried out by all those in a leadership role in an organisation. In most situations, such leaders fulfil their human resource responsibilities within a clear human resource policy framework.

No formal organization can exist and function well without formal ‘rules of engagement’ in managing people, known as Human Resource Policy.

HR Policies are continuing guiding principles on the approach of which an organization intends to adopt in managing its people. HR policies are used to set the direction for the employees working in the company and what is expected of them in the workplace.

This course is a beginner’s course aimed to give the fundamental knowledge of human resources.
