Introduction
The effective management of an organisations human
resources is now recognised across the world as
a critical component in the success of both public
and private enterprises. Irrespective of size, the
presence of well trained and motivated staff, capable
of working effectively as a team, will enable organisations
to meet the fresh challenges that come from the
rapidly changing environments in which all organisations
must now operate. The recognition of the role and
importance of human resource management in the workplace
has lead to a demand for trained and qualified professionals
who can advise organisations in this area, and to
the highest development of a career structure through
which such a professional may rise to the highest
levels of the organisation.
In recognition of the growing importance of this
field of managerial activity, The Association of
Business Executives has developed a Human Resource
Management program, leading to awards at Certificate,
Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels. This programme
introduces students to the academic disciplines
that underlie the effective management of the human
resource, and goes on to explore both theory and
practice of human resource management activities.
Such activities range from initial manpower planning,
which reflects the broad long term aims of the organisation
together with its technological and labour market
content, through resorting and then onto the training
and development of individuals and teams, which
will enhance their performance within the workplace.
Students who complete this programme will find their
HRM skills and their own personal marketability
within the organisation enhanced, as well as their
preparedness for further courses of study.
