Course description
Employee Relations and HR Practice examines the broad issues relating to managing people at work. The scope of inquiry extends to the macroeconomic environment including the economic, political, social and institutional context of work. The course is approached from a stakeholder perspective, emphasising the way that management, labour and the state, along with other key stakeholders, act, both separately and together, to structure the employment relationship and how that then transposes into HR Practice. Topics covered include the regulatory framework, employment law, bargaining structures and processes, managing diversity and inclusion, workplace discrimination, conflict and co-operation, Work, Health and Safety, employee wellbeing, HR Technology, HR policy, competencies and ethics.
