Human Resource Development

Description

Human Resource Development is the second of two modules in Human Resource Management. The modules aim to develop learners' skills in essential areas of HRM required by the CIPD professional standards. Development of human resources is essential for any organisation that would like to be dynamic and growth-oriented. Unlike other resources, human resources have rather unlimited potential capabilities. The potential can be used only by creating a climate that can continuously identify, further develop, nurture and use the capabilities of people. The module therefore aims at developing the learners' appreciation of human resource development processes within an organisation.
