Functional areas of HRM

HR Functional Areas is one of the four required course areas for students in the Master of Human Resource Management Program. Students are required to take the following three courses in this area to receive their MHRM degree.

Critical Human Resource Areas

While all of the functional areas of human resource management are important,
some of the areas where board decision-making is critical include:
• Staffing – Boards must determine a strategy for recruiting the best people,
and selecting the right people. One decision board members will have to
make is the role of trustees in the selection process.
• Organizational Development and Employee Learning – Especially
because they are running an educational enterprise, boards have to consider
carefully how to best and most responsibly encourage education and training for employees.

• Employee Relations – Includes a number of significant functions, ranging

from managing employee communication through attendance management
to workforce diversity.
• Collective Bargaining – A major obligation for boards of education both
under The Education Act, 1995 and The Trade Union Act. It is important for
the nature of the relationship between school divisions and their employees,
as well as having major financial consequences. Boards must make decisions ranging from the values that will direct labour relations, to the role of
trustees in bargaining.
