Rationale

The Performance, Assessment and Rewards Management course provides students with a range of theoretical knowledge to get an idea of the actual processes, their tools, their techniques, the important parameters involved and the ways they are implemented within specific organisational contexts in which they might operate. The main objective of the course is to present and examine these concepts and their practical application, to provide students with the necessary skills to create a contemporary and complete performance and rewards framework for their future employers that is supportive of the organisational model.
