How to develop effective HR strategies and policies that are beneficial for both employees and organizations? Can you use data and HR analytics to predict employee performance and reduce burnout? What strategies do HRM managers employ to prioritize well-being, mental health, and work-life balance?
In the MSc Human Resource Management, you will study these HRM questions in the context of current societal and technological developments and be in charge of your own professional development. The programme in Groningen is a small-scale, diverse, and social programme with strong ties to real-world business practices. A standout feature is the dedicated HR analytics course where you will harness the power of data science, digital HR systems, and data visualization tools (PowerBI) to evaluate organizational HR performance.
You learn about the strategic and operational perspective of HR. How do HRM strategies aim at employee well-being contribute to attracting and retaining top talent, and why is this crucial for an organisation's sustainability? On a strategic level, you will study how to match the supply and demand of personnel and anticipate how this is affected by global and digital changes. On an operational level, you will learn about the recruitment, selection, performance, and well-being of employees. To help you kickstart your career right after graduation, we introduced a new course for you to gain practical skills and work on personal development. Next to the core courses, the MSc HRM includes a wide variety of elective courses on various topics such as stress and health, sustainability, technological development, internationalization of business, business ethics, and digitalization.
