This unit aims to introduce students to the complex body of knowledge and professional practice relating to two important and closely related areas of human resource management practice (reward and performance management) and to ensure students understand relevant theory and practice in how these two inter-related HR practice areas directly influence individual, work group and organisational performance. The focus is on how organisations effectively shape employee behavior and strengthen performance and how this can lead to more effective organisational performance.
