Human Resource Management

With organizations becoming increasingly aware of the need to attract and retain the best people for their workforce, employers are constantly seeking skilled additions to their HR team. Some of the major reasons why people choose a career in HR include: to influence innumerable aspects of the organization, to assist in the development of its employees, and to play a part in influencing strategic business decisions. A business is only as good as its employees, and an organization's employees are only as good as their HR team.

Career opportunities - Whilst there are several specialist roles in HR, including employer branding, HR business partner, and change management, most positions will require you to get involved in multiple functions such as recruitment and selection, training and development, employee relations, contracts of employment, complaints and grievances, employee rights, appraisals, and health and safety.
