Description
The Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resources Management programme is designed to expand knowledge of individual and group behavior. This Programme enables participants to develop additional insight into group dynamics, design effective motivation systems for their co-workers, and serve as insightful conflict resolution specialists. This course aims to assist participants to broaden their perspective in the field of Human Resource Management and development. There is a general consensus now that capacity building efforts that have long accompanied the development agenda in Africa need re-thinking because they have not produced the desired results. Africa is the only continent that has not registered any significant improvement in development in the last decade in spite of massive capacity building interventions by its governments and development partners. The following course objectives will be achieved:
i) To enable learners to acquire knowledge and skills for now and future work-life balance through proper motivation, management and administration of human resources.
ii) To introduce students to the academic discipline that underlies the effective management of the human resources and explores both the theory and practice of human resource management activities.
iii) To enable students have knowledge on how to manage employees’ relations and diversity, collective and individual, retaining commitment through time of change.
