Synopsis

One of the key challenges facing modern-day organisations is to ensure that the organisation is staffed with competent, committed and appropriately talented people. In order to achieve this, appropriate staffing, remuneration and reward strategies and practices are essential. These are key areas of human resource management and numerous HRM professionals specialise in this field. In fact, this is probably the cornerstone of the relationship between people and organisations. In this relationship, work done in organisations needs to rest upon forming proper work requirements, matching people to jobs, managing job information, assessing the value of jobs and remunerating employees for their work. This course covers relevant theory and practice about the fit between work design, staffing, remuneration and reward. The employment relationship is investigated from different perspectives with the view of facilitating a better understanding of such relationships through staffing strategies, and remuneration and reward strategies.
