HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Wherever we are, we find ourselves with people and we deal with people. For anyone looking ahead to undertake any responsibility in organisations, communities, and in other grouping, the importance of people and how they relate and interact, and how they perceive and respond to certain situations in a working and organisation environment, will always be important. In all our responsibilities as leaders and members in organisations and communities we find ourselves working with people and through other people to achieve desired goals. The effective management of people, is recognised as challenging and crucial to the success of all organisations. It becomes imperative then, that time and academic space be given to the very important people factor in our day to day living and processes. The course in Human Resource Management sets out to help the learner in recognising the ?people? factor in organisations. If we look for effectiveness and efficiency in our establishments and undertakings in all sorts of businesses and non-business settings, we need to understand that ?people matter?. We cannot deem people as just cogs in wheel, or just a pair of hands to squeeze results from. This course will give a new and critical stance to get the balance between people?s interests and our own interests in organisations imprinted in our organisations goals and objectives. The course also seeks to equip students with an ability to think out and forward new approaches to managing people at work places of all calibres.
