Overview
One of the key challenges facing modern-day organisations is to ensure that the organisation is staffed with competent, committed and appropriately talented people. That challenge exists because the talent required by the organisation must meet continually evolving strategic and operational business needs. A finely assembled employee resource can provide a unique contribution to a firm's competitive advantage. A contribution to the firm's competitive advantage can be achieved when a quality workforce planning system is put in place that provides the blueprint for the ongoing talent management of the firm's human resource. Students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to plan, select and procure the people who will provide the talent for the organisation, whilst balancing the needs of multiple stakeholders and legislative obligations.
Talent management is a broad concept that refers to the processes that organisations use to attract, motivate and develop its people, for now and for the future. In this course, students examine how the success of any business rests upon an alliance between talent management, organisational strategy and workforce planning in the contemporary and unpredictable business and social environment. Students will learn initially about HR's responsibility to advise, lead and create a workforce that can meet organisational needs while also offering psychologically rewarding work to the employees. Flowing on from these imperatives, the remainder of the course examines talent acquisition principles, processes and lawful obligations.
Course learning outcomes
On successful completion of this course students should be able to:
- critically examine the challenges and benefits associated with workforce planning, designing jobs and valuing jobs;
- explain the benefits of assembling a diverse workforce;
- analyse the principles and processes associated with talent management initiatives related to attracting and procuring the best people to do the work of the organisation;
- develop an article (such as a policy, report, account, portfolio or written advice) for a human resource management stakeholder that showcases the effective application of aspects of talent management theory and/or practice;
- work independently to research, examine and evaluate ideas from a variety of scholarly and credible sources for the purposes of creating a professional-standard script, to fulfil the requirements of the written assessment.
