| Summary of Module |
|---|
This module begins by examining the role of Talent management across workforces. Talent management's role is to attract, identify, develop, engage, retain and deploy individuals who are considered particularly valuable to an organisation. Consideration is given to the changing and evolving labour markets and business environments within which organisations operate and to the related pressures and constraints that affect organisations’ supply and demand for labou.
The module analyses the broad strategic HRM choices available to organizations and the need for environmental scanning, internal workforce and performance audits and other planning activities for the recruitment, development, retention and deployment of the requisite effective workforce. There is coverage of the employment legislation and professional HR practice aspects that affect the HR role in strategic, policy and practice aspects of talent management.

| Learning and Teaching |
|---|
The learning and teaching activities developed for the module were crafted in accordance with the UWS Edcuation Enabling plan in terms of providing variety in learning and assessment practice and engaging students in learning practices. The formative and summative learning and teaching activities and assessment instruments are adopted with the aim of providing learners with the opportunity to manage partnerships with fellow students in informal group activities and to develop individual independence in the practical report.. The instrument of assessment provides learners with externally facing workplace relevant knowledge that is enhanced by a commitment to scholarly practice that enriches competence and resilience.
Students will gain core knowledge in interactive classes, applying that knowledge in student discussion. |
