| Content |
The course Advanced HRM focuses on human resource functions in large companies in a globalized world from a sustainability perspective. The approach focuses on Sustainable HRM and especially two of its roles. First, the role of HRM in making work systems sustainable including the analysis of challenges related to HRM in international supply chains. Second, the role of HRM in contributing to sustainable business organizations and to an overall societal sustainable development. Advanced HRM in this course is understood as a Sustainable HRM and designed to discuss HRM strategies and practices of the key areas of human resource planning, recruitment, selection, retention, performance management, reward management and workplace learning at an advanced level and within a Sustainable HRM framework.
Instead of seeing HR practices and processes as the responsibility of a special function only, this course is based on a general management approach that HR activities are the responsibility of all managers in an organization.
This course is based on research and insights from diverse fields, including strategic HRM, Sustainable HRM, Green HRM, organization theory, organizational behavior, industrial relations, and corporate social responsibility.
