Advanced Diploma in Human Resource Management
Work is central to human life, and most working activities are typically performed in the context of organisations. All organisations are made up of people who work and interact to achieve the organization's goals (and to make a living for themselves, of course).
Decision-making about people and how human talent is leveraged is vitally important to the success of any organisation. This realisation has led to the increased recognition of the centrality that HRM and sound people management practices play in creating a competitive advantage and supporting organisational performance.
