This free* course is aimed at those who are currently working in a business profession and have a responsibility for either hiring or managing staff and aspects of Leadership and Management within their role. Alternatively, it is suitable for anyone who wishes to progress their career to that level of responsibility and therefore has a desire to understand these key topics.
The course consists of the following two units:
Human Resource
Management
This unit will give students the
knowledge and skills associated with Human Resource (HR) occupational roles at
either a generalist level, for example HR Assistant/HR Advisor/Business Partner,
or more specialist roles in areas such as recruitment, talent acquisition and
performance and reward management.
The aim of the unit is to enable
students to understand and be able to apply principles of effective HRM in order
to enhance sustainable organisational performance and contribute to
organisational success, holding business outcomes and people outcomes in equal
balance.
Students will explore the nature
and scope of HRM and the organisational context of people management, including
recruitment and retention, training and development, reward systems, employment
relations and associated legislative frameworks.
Students will apply HR practices
in a work related context, utilising their knowledge and practising skills and
behaviours in relevant professional areas, including resourcing, talent planning
and recruitment, learning and development and employee engagement.
On completion of the unit,
students will understand the purpose and scope of HRM activities. They will be
able to apply a range of people-management skills to enhance the performance of
an organisation by finding solutions to people-related problems.
Leadership and
Management
The aim of this unit is to help
students to understand the difference between the function of a manager and the
role of a leader.
Students will consider the
characteristics, behaviours and traits that support effective management and
leadership. Students will learn about the theories that have shaped the
understanding of leadership and management and how these have provided a guide
to action for managers and leaders who want to secure success for their
businesses.
Students will look at leadership
styles, how and why they are used and the extent to which they are effective.
This unit also gives students an understanding of motivational strategies. They
will develop motivational strategies covering intrinsic and extrinsic aspects of
motivation. Finally, students will evaluate the importance of managing
performance in achieving continuous improvement.
The unit provides essential knowledge development for those in Management or seeking a Leadership role in the near future.
