  • Models of HRM-contributions (for example the model of Ulrich)
  • Working with balanced scorecards in the context of HRM

Next, we will zoom in on a few practical applications of HRM, more specifically on the fields of:
  • Planning of personnel availability and personnel demands
  • Methods of function- and competenty analysis
  • The designing of recruitment selection procedures
  • The designing of functioning- and performance assessment systems (including conversational models and assessment tendencies)
  • Reward strategic analysis (wage level/wage composition, methods of function classification, performance rewarding and motivation)
