Effective management of human capital is critical to the success of organisations. Yet with all the emphasis on human resource development, many leaders still struggle with managing performance and retaining talent. Drawing on recent research in human resources management, this comprehensive programme is designed to help general managers and HR professionals address the issues involved with integrating human capital strategy with business strategy, and managing talent to maximise their contributions to the organisation. The programme explores a variety of case studies and discussions that will help participants appreciate the strategic role and impact of human resources. You will learn about the trends and developments, the issues and challenges of managing talents globally and locally, and emerging HR technologies. With the availability of today’s technology, HR managers are in a better position to leverage on technology in the area of learning and development as well as people analytics. Timely and essential topics, such as the impact of social media, the changing meaning of work, and the impact of a multi-generational workforce will also be examined
