UGA: Mr. Hasinur Rahman [Mobile: 01917 741318, Email: rhasinur@yahoo.com] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Greetings As salamu alaikum and greetings to all my students. Thank you for enrolling into this section. I look forward to guide you throughout the semester and hope you find this class a pleasant learning experience. We will learn HRM and also try to be a better human being. Feel free to communicate with me whenever required. Unit Description This unit seeks to provide a critical and in-depth analysis of Human Resource Management (HRM) by offering a wealth of material on the theory and practice.These materials have been thoroughly updated to emphasize the strategic role of HR and to connect HRM to larger management issues. The unit has incorporated a wide range of engaging source material drawn from academic literature, theory, practitioner experience and the media, to shed light on the importance of HRM needed in recent time. As the foundation unit in the HRM concentration, this unit explores key professional processes and practices associated with HRM including: planning, employee obtaining, development, maintenance, and other contemporary issues. Additionally, this unit examines trends in HRM practice, taking account of projected demographical, legal, technological and economic changes. Throughout the lesson plan the approach is to establish relevant theoretical and conceptual material and to supplement this by reviewing practical examples and different tasks. Regardless, there is no best book in the area of HRM, but rather a number of useful books that students would need to look at. However, I hope, this unit, with a more integrated approach would help my students to know HRM better than from any other source. Page 1
