Management with Human Resources
Management with human resources is a degree that places the management of people at the centre of a broad business education. Organisations succeed or fail on the basis of their people, and the professionals who design, implement, and evaluate the systems for attracting, developing, motivating, and retaining talent are central to organisational effectiveness. Human resource management covers the theory and practice of recruitment and selection, performance management, learning and development, employment law, reward, diversity and inclusion, organisational change, and the strategic contribution of HR to business outcomes.
Management provides the wider organisational and commercial context in which these HR decisions are made.
