This is a second-year core unit in the Bachelor of Business, major in Management and offered as an elective unit in the Bachelor of Business majors in accounting and marketing.
Knowledge of human resource strategies that add value to an organisation through appropriate development practices and talent management is required to effectively manage the human resource development function in organisations. Students will investigate the theory and practice of human resource development by critically assessing the effectiveness of employee learning experiences and the techniques used to facilitate that experience. The aim of this Unit is to facilitate the learning of concepts and practices related to human resource development (HRD). The Unit emphasises the role of HRD in operationalising corporate strategy and in the creation and management of organisational knowledge. Students will learn about contemporary adult learning and HRD theories. Students will learn how to integrate this knowledge when undertaking the analysis, design and development of effective HRD programs in organisations.
