Human Resource Management (HRM) ensures that organisations attract, retain, and develop human capital to achieve their strategic goals. The HRM Officer is an essential role player in organisations that delivers various HRM services such as employee recruitment, selection, performance management, learning and development and employee relations management including promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace and supporting the development of ethical and socially responsible HRM practices. This qualification provides standardised knowledge, skills, and competencies and provides a clear career pathway for HRM practitioners, supporting their professional development and their sense of job satisfaction and engagement. The qualification will enable the HRM Officer to protect organisations and their employees by managing human capital risk.
Typical learners are those who are interested in pursuing a career in HRM or those who are currently working in HRM roles and wish to formalise their skills and knowledge, including individuals who have completed post-secondary education in a related field but have not yet obtained a formal HRM qualification. The qualification may also appeal to individuals currently working in HRM roles but still need a formal qualification.
