Helping the HR professionals of tomorrow foster responsible organisations
About the school
The School of Human Resource Management incorporates Arden University’s degree courses in management. Supporting your career development in an engaging and exciting academic environment, we provide you with up to date skills development that moves away from the traditional focus of ‘humans as resources’ and brings a fresh focus on the industry - with an emphasis on the value of people.
Today’s changing terms of employment and organisational commitments to equality and responsibility have created the need for professionals that are familiar with the concepts of corporate purpose, organisational culture and behaviours and added value.
As a future people professional, you’ll need the skills necessary for navigating this increasingly complex and challenging world of work. Our academic team will help you develop these skills, as well as fostering your acquisition of knowledge in the areas of people analytics and digital transformation. This will give you the ability to create responsible organisations through diverse and inclusive workforces, while supporting wellbeing and aligning successful employees and ethical business strategy.
