Human Resources Management for Strategy, Engagement, and Performance

HR management shapes how organisations attract, develop, and retain people, and how teams perform over time. HR managers balance compliance requirements with practical people needs, designing policies and processes that support fairness, accountability, and performance. As organisations face ongoing change, HR also plays a central role in supporting culture, wellbeing, and adoption of new ways of working.

This programme covers key HR management areas including recruitment, performance management, workforce planning, training and development, employee wellbeing, and diversity management. Students learn how to align HR practices with organisational strategy using structured frameworks and tools, and how to implement policies that support good governance and employment law awareness. The course includes practical assignments and real-world case studies that strengthen decision-making in common HR scenarios, including engagement challenges, capability development planning, and supporting organisational change through consistent people processes and communication.

This course is delivered by Accelerate Management School. On successful completion, the certificate is issued by the delivering partner college.
