Description
The correct understanding and implementation of business ethics and related legislation are challenging concepts in the world of human resources. The Human Resource Manager is tasked with the responsibility of creating and establishing work equality and transformation that brings about job satisfaction and company productivity.
This vast area of management requires students to apply a hands-on approach. MGI’s BCom Degree in Human Resources Management provides a strong theoretical foundation for training, education, and skills development as measures of poverty-alleviation. At the same time, this degree gives students a macro perspective on the design and development of strategic HR-related policies and legislation, including practical experience in the drafting and application thereof.
The programme covers sensitive issues in the workplace such as modern day stress and burnout, internal staffing and discipline, HIV/Aids, whistle blowing, sexual harassment, and retrenchment, whilst covering other areas such as:
* Employment Equity and Labour Relations Acts
* Health and safety management
* Career development, compensation, performance, and change management
* Motivation, leadership, teamwork, cultural, and workplace diversity
* Organising, job design, and analysis
* Candidate selection, negotiation, and placement
The degree equips students with the necessary skills to successfully manage working relationships between people at work and organizations, exposing them to all the practical elements in the human resources field.
