Human Resource Management

Introduction

Endringer i våre omgivelser som globalisering, teknologiutvikling, fokus på bærekraft, automatisering av arbeidsplasser, samt veksten i antall kunnskaps- og servicemedarbeidere er faktorer i som påvirker utviklingen av virksomheter, dette får også konsekvenser for HR arbeidet.

I dette programmet setter vi fokus på hva HR er, sentrale HR aktiviteter og hvordan ulike tilnærminger til HR praksis setter sitt preg på ansatte i virksomheter. Vi vi se på hva som fremmer og hemmer utvikling, endring, god ledelse, god rekruttering, kompetanseutvikling, klima i organisasjoner og de ansattes motivasjon. Perspektiver vi ønsker å belyse er hard versus myk HR og hvordan respektive systemer og tilnærminger bidrar til prestasjoner i organisasjoner.
