About this Course
Understand how HR functions connect before choosing a specialisation
You may already know separate topics such as recruitment, performance management and HR policies. This course shows how those areas connect across the employee lifecycle and within the wider organisation.
By the end of the programme, you will be able to:
• Understand the scope and purpose of HR instead of reducing the function to recruitment alone.
• Connect core functions such as recruitment, learning and development, performance management, compensation and employee relations.
• Follow HR responsibilities across the employee lifecycle from attraction and hiring to onboarding, development, retention and exit.
• Distinguish Human Resource Management (HRM) from Human Resource Development (HRD) and understand where training, coaching, mentoring and career development fit.
• Understand the role of policy, ethics, fairness and compliance in responsible HR practice.
• Understand how HR relates to organisational performance, HR analytics, employee engagement and productivity at a foundation level.
A foundation for people entering HR from different starting points
The course fits the stage where you need a clear understanding of HR before choosing a deeper specialisation or building advanced knowledge in one function.
• People who want to start a career in Human Resources.
• Fresh graduates who need a structured foundation before specialising.
• Junior HR practitioners who want to organise knowledge gained through early-career work.
• Career changers moving into HR from another field.
