Participants’ Profiles (Intake 1 to 13)
Overview
This module uses the Strategic HRM framework to enable participants to provide a strategic angle in implementing HR processes and practices that communicate the clear goal of HR – that of the businesses’ strategic partner. That is, HR understands the business and is actively involved in every step of the strategic planning process. Thus, HR is no longer a staff function with a focus on operations; HR is an important partner in delivering business strategies and outcomes in organisations. In addition, we will also explore the competencies needed for a mid-level HR professional to acquire to step up to the role of delivering Strategic HRM. That is, this module is developed with the mid-level HR professionals to enable them to prepare themselves for a strategic HR role.
