Bachelor of Business - Stage Two
Human Resource Management and Employment Relations
Forty years ago people joined a company for life – now organisations compete to keep employees for just two years. Business leaders recognise that managing their human resource is a vital component of an organisation’s success.Human resource management goes beyond recruiting staff – it’s about understanding people at work, and retaining employees. Knowledge of employment law and the role of groups external to the organisation is critical for all managers.
The Human Resource Management and Employment Relations major develops skills to foster co-operative workplace relationships, and to avoid the pitfalls of mismanaged and negligent employment relations.
