Main objective of the course is the understanding of the strategies, policies and management tools of Human Resource Management adopted by organizations to support their development. The course, based on rigorous theoretical and methodological approaches, allows students to look at various HR practices within the employment cycle (e.g. recruitment and selection, compensation management, performance management, training and development), highlighting the critical role of HRM in predicting employees' behaviour, attitudes, and performance. Finally, the course is aimed to allow students to understand how the sustainability paradigm could be applied to HR practices

The final written test will assess this knowledge at the end of the course. During the course this knowledge will be assessed through discussions, case study activities, teamwork and laboratories. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: the student will learn tools and approaches to read and understand HRM practices in organizational settings and to apply acquired knowledge and competences in his/her work environment.
