Human resources, recruitment and training

Human resources, recruitment and training are key functions in modern businesses, so graduates working in these areas could find jobs in most sectors of the economy.

'Human resource management' describes the function that manages a company’s employees or human resources. It has evolved from what traditionally was an administrative department to one that is strategic in nature and has the ability to make a positive impact on both the organisation and on individual employees.

Human resource professionals are involved with recruitment, training, career development, compensation and benefits, employee relations, industrial relations, employment law, compliance, disciplinary and grievance issues, redundancies etc.
