This unit aims to develop students' understanding of four core parts of strategic staffing, namely: (1) the staffing context; (2) workforce planning and recruitment; (3) personnel selection; and (4) managing the staffing system. As we will see, these four parts each play a key role in facilitating the movement of talent into, through, and out of the organization in a way that enables the organization to compete successfully in its marketplace.
