Today's Human Resource Management Challenges
Changes in the global business environment - such as increased competition arising from globalisation - mean that organisations around the world must be able to attract, retain and develop productive employees. In an environment of falling birthrates, ageing populations and skill shortages, effective human resource management is made even more challenging.
 
There is a need for basic and applied research to extract the best from employer-employee relationships, to inform the practice of talent recruitment and retention, to ensure effective diversity management, and to deal with issues of international human resource management, employee relations and the implications of strategic change.
 
Core Research Strengths
The Centre currently has six core research strengths, aimed at improving organisational effectiveness through HRM practices, creating positive human resource outcomes and enhancing organisational performance.
