Foundations of Human Resource Management

People, Work and Wellbeing

Leadership and Communication in Construction

International Human Resource Management

Valuing the Volunteer

The principal aim of the subject is to provide an overview of the fields of Human Resources (HR), and Employment Relations (ER) by providing the underpinning knowledge and developing an understanding of core theoretical principles and models of Human Resource Management (HRM). Students will focus on the outcome of HR/ER strategies and policies at the individual, organisation and societal levels. The effective management of employees is a key concern for organisations due the recognition of the positive role that well-managed human resources can play in increasing organisational and individual outcomes. It is necessary for people working as HR/ER specialists, and for those who are managing teams of people, to understand multiple HRM perspectives and to develop evidence-based people management strategies appropriate to specific organisational contexts. This subject will cover content (what), the rationale (why), and implementation (how) of effective people management practices.

This subject will introduce leadership, people management and communication skills and techniques to support effective interaction with construction people and teams, clients, contractors, suppliers and external stakeholders. You will learn and apply negotiation and conflict resolution techniques and communication mindsets that address contemporary issues in the workplace and motivate teams to deliver on construction objectives. In conjunction with the discipline theory, this subject introduces learning through practice by exposing you to authentic learning experiences. These experiences are placed at the centre of learning and assessment, so you have the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary to respond to industry, community and/or global needs. You will be introduced to:- a range of methods, tools, techniques and approaches to practice- principles and perspectives such as values, ethics, empathy and leadership in real world scenarios- reflection and deliberative thinking as a means of developing knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations- ways of understanding problems and developing solutions through active inquiry.

This subject offers you an opportunity to pursue advanced study in the discipline of employment relations. The subject is particularly focused on the employment relationship, its regulation and management in contemporary workplaces. The subject introduces theoretical approaches to power, conflict and negotiation in a workplace environment. Demonstrating learning outcomes in this subject requires the capability to understand and assess situations from multiple perspectives and to appreciate both short-term and long-term consequences of decisions at the individual, organisation and societal levels. The subject has a strong focus on the application of theoretical concepts in real-world situations. There will be coverage of the Australian regulatory framework and approaches to the employment relationship taken by organisations, unions, governments and regulatory bodies.

Employment Relations

The way workforces are structured and organised is changing. This subject introduces and assesses future trends in human resource management in light of the key contemporary drivers of organisational change. The subject investigates the influence of digitisation and the ongoing transformation of the HR function. Students will explore the nature of future workforces, skills, transitions and job displacement. Developments in labour markets will be analysed in terms of increasing globalisation and the ongoing international division of labour. Topics surveyed will also include graduate destinations and outcomes, and the future of careers in human resource management.

The Future of Human Resource Management

This subject investigates the role and practice of Human Resource Management in organisations with an applied industry component. Through engagement with industry partners, the subject provides students with the opportunity to apply HRM practices, concepts, theories and skills to critical aspects of business operation. Thus, students will explore a broad view of the complex and contested HR issues that confront organisations.

Human Resource Project

HR professionals are expected to understand and practice human resource management aligned with organisational goals. This subject integrates theory and research to develop students&#39; understanding of evidence-based human resource management and professional skills. Human resources development is widely recognised as a critical component in gaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Developing people&#39;s capabilities in diverse contexts is thus a vital contribution by HR professionals to the continuous improvement of the workforce. Besides, applying analytical processes to the organisation&#39;s human capital is critical to improving employee performance and enhancing employee retention. Thus, in this subject, we focus on four modules that will cover the following topics:· Performance Management System· Employee Remuneration System· Human Resource Development (HRD)· Human Resource Analytics

Human Resource Management in Action

Strategic and effective human resource management is now widely recognised as a critical contributor to the achievement of organisational objectives, organisational competitiveness and profitability. Todays HR professionals are expected to understand and practise human resource management that is strategically aligned with organisational goals, and creates value for the organisation. This subject integrates theory and research to develop students understanding of evidence-based human resource management, and their professional skills, in human resource practice.
