The course focuses on the following topics:

• Internal and external HRM contexts
• Personnel selection and appraisal
• Motivation and incentives

Students learn the skills needed to implement theoretical concepts and models in organizational practice, recognize, structure, and efficiently solve typical HRM problems based on theoretical concepts, and to drive development processes in management and organizations.

Continuous assessment courses (PI) are high-interactive courses.

For a positive completion of the course an 80% presence is required.

Should there be an important reason for an absence in the course, then a maximum of 20% of the entire course duration can be missed. For cumulative absences of more than 20%, the course must be repeated. A confirmation (eg. a medical certificate) must be provided for the absence.

According to the examination regulations of the WU, important reasons are those which are outside the disposition of the student (illness, accident, death of a close relative). Professional obligations are not considered as an important reason within the meaning of the examination regulations, because they are in the disposition of the students.
