To successfully take up the role of a human resource (HR) professional requires the development of a variety of attributes and beliefs. These in turn underpin skills proficiency. A key purpose of this module is thus to encourage learners to develop a strong sense of self-awareness, and of social awareness, and thus of their own strengths and weaknesses as managers and colleagues. The module also specifically seeks to develop and improve a range of definable skills that are pivotal to successful management and leadership.
These include thinking and decision-making skills, the management of financial information, managing budgets, a range of team working and interpersonal skills and skills associated with developing personal effectiveness and credibility at work. The module also seeks to develop more specialised skills that are of particular significance to effective higher-level people management. Finally, the module seeks to help learners make the most of their formal programmes of study with the inclusion of key postgraduate study skills and requires critical reflection on theory and practice from an ethical and professional standpoint.
