Description

This 12-week Human Resource Fundamentals curriculum is a strategic and operational approach to managing people, culture, and employment relationships across economic, legal, social, and psychological dimensions. Grounded in seminal frameworks like the Michigan Model, Harvard Framework, Bath Model, and Appelbaum’s AMO model, modern HRM ensures both vertical alignment with business strategies (such as Cost Leadership or Differentiation) and horizontal integration across core functions. By using the Resource-Based View and high-performance practices, organisations execute strategic talent acquisition through structured recruitment, screening, and psychometric assessments, such as cognitive testing and the Big Five personality traits to build competitive human capital. Ultimately, this strategic machinery relies on frontline line managers and robust job design, analysis, and specifications to balance organizational performance with employee well-being in the modern workforce.
