Modules
Consider the impact of external influences and how the digital and commercial environment shapes business and the culture within which they operate. In this context, students will also consider the importance of people’s behaviour on organisational culture and its ability to manage change effectively.
Explore how people professionals make both straightforward and complex choices as they carry out their roles. The module also focuses on how utilising a diverse range of analytics and evidence is essential to the rationalisation and enhancement of working practices and situational decision-making to add value.
Explore the core behaviours for people professionals, focusing on ethical behaviours to create value, and how certain ways of acting and thinking should be universally consistent, even in new and challenging situations, to promote a sense of well-being and inclusivity in the organisation.
Explore the key areas of people practice linked to the “employee lifecycle” from initial attraction to exit, including recruitment and selection, performance and reward, employee relations and learning and development.
