<p>Today’s local government managers not only need to be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of various aspects of human resource practices but also with an understanding of the alignment between human resource strategy and business strategy. An understanding of this alignment is vital for supporting the growth of local government organisations as well as fostering the development and well-being of their employees and society in general. Thus, this unit blends Strategic Management and Human Resource Management (HRM) disciplines, focusing on how HRM Practice and Strategy influence the creation of effective business strategies that are pivotal for their execution. To summarise, this unit aims to examine the role of HRM practice and strategy in contributing to the long-term performance and viability of Local Government organisations.</p>
