Human Resource Management (HRM) is a strategic function dedicated to attracting, developing, motivating, and retaining an organization’s most valuable asset—its people. The program equips students with the knowledge and skills to manage key HR areas, including recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, employee relations, and compliance with labor laws.

In today’s competitive business environment, HRM plays a crucial role in aligning workforce capabilities with organizational goals, establishing clear performance frameworks, and safeguarding employees’ rights and well-being. Students also gain practical experience with modern HR tools, techniques, and software, preparing them to implement effective HR strategies in both local and global organizational contexts. By balancing organizational objectives with individual needs, HRM professionals drive productivity, foster a positive work culture, and support sustainable business growth.
