Managing People
Aim:- This unit will develop learner’s understanding of the methods, processes and procedures used when managing people in engineering
The unit will give learners an opportunity to examine the
various practices, procedures and constraints that influence the management of
people within a work environment. This will require learners to consider and
explain the processes and procedures involved in the management of people, such
as human resource planning, recruitment, selection and contracting. Learners
will alos investigate a range of working relationships in engineering settings
and the lines of responsibility. Management and development of human resources
are also covered with an examination of industrial relations and legislation.
