Description

At the heart of effective leadership and management in any organisation lies the strategic use of human resources. In educational organisations, such as schools and higher education institutions, a range of issues related to the nature of learning, teaching, research, and the particular organisational contexts in which these activities are pursued, pose particular challenges for leaders and managers. This course will familiarise participants with current theory and practice in Human Resource Management (HRM); the particular issues and challenges faced by educational/academic leaders and managers; and provide opportunities for participants to develop and evaluate strategies to address these issues.

Specific topics to be considered will include work design; recruiting, selecting and retaining staff; staff and career development; and the management of staff diversity, performance and rewards.
