Course overview
Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a crucial role in ensuring that organisations attract, retain, and develop talent to achieve their strategic goals. The administrative function is essential to support this function in organisations. The administrative role is becoming more important as the HRM landscape evolves due to technological advancements, changing demographics, and globalisation. In this realignment, the qualification has been elevated from a purely clerical role into a full administrative one. This is essential to meet the demands of complex and evolving organisations.
Human Resource Management (HRM) Administrators are essential in organisations in South Africa for several reasons. Firstly, the HRM administrators ensure that organisations comply with the various labour laws and regulations in South Africa. These laws cover areas such as minimum wages, working conditions, and employee rights; failure to comply with these laws can result in legal action against the organisation, which can be costly in terms of fines and reputational damage.
