WELCOME

Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) encapsulates human resource management (HRM) knowledge and skills     from within the major. SHRM considers the fundamental dimensions of HRM within various strategic HRM frameworks. The unit provides opportunity for the application of the collective HRM skills and knowledge in a real life business case, and as   applied to contemporary HRM issues. The decision making of HR practitioners is considered in all aspects of the unit,             especially as lens for critical thought and analysis of issues. Students will begin to understand how their accumulative            experience in HRM has shaped their professional HRM identity as they move into the job market. SHRM brings together the HRM major in such a way that students will have clearly defined and evidenced job ready skills and knowledge.

ABOUT THIS UNIT

Unit development in response to student feedback

Every trimester, we ask students to tell us, through eVALUate, what helped and hindered their learning in each Unit. You are strongly encouraged to provide constructive feedback for this Unit when eVALUate opens (you will be emailed a link).

In previous versions of this unit, students have told us that these aspects of the unit have helped them to achieve the learning outcomes:

The unit format

Contemporary issues

Assessment and seminar structure

The following aspects of the unit have been introduced, enhanced or retained in response to feedback from students who have undertaken this unit in previous trimesters:

The assessments have been refined and better aligned with the expectations of a HR professional.

The assessments have been simplified so that the cognitive load for students is balanced more effectively across the unit

If you have any concerns about the Unit during the trimester, please contact the unit teaching team - preferably early in the trimester - so we can discuss your concerns, and make adjustments, if appropriate.
