This module aims to provide you, as the learner, the opportunity to focus your studies on the people dimension of business and management. In the competitive arena of the 21st century, people are seen as key to the success of the organisation in achieving competitive advantage. As such, the role of HRM has become increasingly important. Organisations need to ensure that they have the right people, in the right place at the right time. This module will help you to think outside of the box and develop your understanding of how organisations deploy, develop and engage their people.
