Strategic Human Resource Management

Equip yourself with the knowledge and skills necessary to align individual and team-based activities with the organization's mission and vision and to thus optimize the contribution made by the workforce to the achievement of its long-term ambitions. You’ll adopt a balanced approach to the study of strategic human resource management by synthesizing a combination of academic theory and practitioner experiences, drawn from a broad range of operating environments. As such, you’ll be able to review and evaluate an organization's current operating environment; develop frameworks to diagnose workforce-related problems and propose solutions; and anticipate and prepare for uncertain organizational challenges.

• Develop a strategic approach to human resource management from alternative methods of managing people in an organization.  
• Create an overarching framework of human resource management policy to inform the design of subsequent decision-making.

• Design a planning framework that will optimally support the development and enhancement of individual and team-based attitudes, skills, and behaviors within a workplace.
