Overview
Module aims and purpose
The module covers key issues of how people are managed in order to drive organisational performance. It considers the external and internal contextual factors that impact on managing people, the contribution of the approach to people management at a strategic level in setting and achieving organisational objectives. It addresses the respective roles of the HR function and line management in the processes of resourcing, performance management, reward and development as well as the theories and concepts that underpin the performance of the individual at work.
The Managing People module is designed for practicing and potential managers to enable them to:
鈥 develop an appreciation of the roles of the HR function and line managers in managing people;
鈥 consider the impact of context on managing people, particularly in national, international and multinational contexts; public and private sectors; large, medium and small enterprises;
鈥 develop awareness of the issues and practices that support and hinder the management and development of people in organisations;
鈥 develop an understanding that no 鈥榖est way鈥 exists in the management of people and encourage the learner to identify dilemmas and practices in the workplace.
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module it is expected that programme members should be able to:
鈥 Gain knowledge and understanding of context and culture under which organizations operate;
鈥 Critically evaluate the role and contribution of the HR function (from both line manager and employee perspective) to organisational performance and effectiveness;
Describe, analyse and evaluate talent management processes from recruitment and selection to development using appropriate theories, models and frameworks;
Identify opportunities for coaching, training and development needs using appropriate models and frameworks;
鈥 Examine and understand reward and recognition at an individual and organisational level using latest scientific research evidence;
鈥 Critically evaluate the role of performance management i.e. planning, managing and reviewing performance at both an individual and organisational level and its impact on talent management;
鈥 Understand human behaviour, motivation and engagement in order to understand and manage one鈥檚 own motivation听 听and that of team members;
鈥 Learn traits for success as a people manager.

Depending on the mode of study there are a variety of activities to encourage programme members to:
鈥 Work collaboratively to clarify tasks, solve problems, build and share learning;
鈥 Plan and implement learning and assignment tasks in an autonomous manner;
鈥 Demonstrate personal effectiveness though self-management and their own capacity to organise priorities efficiently;
鈥 Gain increased self-awareness through personal reflection and insight from concepts and theories (either from this or the related Personal Development module) and demonstrate reflection upon their own and others functioning;

鈥 Use models/frameworks and conduct initial basis research of both literature and primary data, with the minimum of guidance;
鈥 Scan and organise the wealth of presented data, abstracting meaning in order to gain and share knowledge;
鈥 Understand own learning and begin to reflect upon and track its progress.
