Successful organisations have a clear and all-encompassing approach to managing talent, and are able to link systems, people and processes together to motivate employees to work at their peak, keep them aligned with business and corporate objectives, and build future leaders throughout the enterprise. The focus of this course is to help students develop an understanding and capacity to manage talent. Students learn the tools, strategies, and best practices to effectively manage an organisation’s most important resource - people.
