Human Resource Management and Employment Relations
Human Resource Management and Employment Relations (HRER) is a multidisciplinary area that investigates all aspects of employment relations in the public and private sector. Modern organisations increasingly regard staff as their most valuable asset and chief source of competitive advantage. Consequently, they attach great importance to how they manage people. Successful management of employment relations is vital if employees are to be motivated and organisations are to be successful.
BCom graduates in HRER generally find work in management, administration and as human resource managers and trade union officials. HRER is also important for careers in the public sector such as policy advisers in the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment and the State Services Commission, and the growing area of employment relations/human resource management throughout the wider state sector. However, HRER papers will be useful to a career in any aspect of business.
