The purpose of this qualification is to prepare a learner to function as a Human Resource Management Advisor. A Human Resource Management (HRM) Advisor works in a range of public and private sector organisations as a strategic partner to the organisation.

A HRM Advisor proactively contributes to organisational success by providing professional advice and support relating to the attraction, procurement, maintenance, development, and separation of Human Resource Assets (Human Capital). The HRM Advisor must ensure optimum compliance with legislative requirements, national and international professional practice standards, collective agreements, and leading practices within the HRM discipline.

Organisational survival, growth and sustainability are the key focus areas of management and leadership. The health of organisations in the public, private and non-governmental service sectors are critical for the nation and the economy. The single most important element of any organisation is its human capital, and this has become a key factor in creating a competitive edge for organisations.

 The employment of practitioners with professional HRM capabilities to navigate through the complex legislative and social dynamics that workplaces find themselves in is essential for organisational success. It is also critical to standardise the various approaches to Human Resource Management and to ensure that they are aligned with the national transformation agenda and the national and global professional standards for HRM.

This aspect of organisational management is daily becoming more important because of the ongoing technical, environmental, and social evolution confronting organisations. The Advanced Occupational Diploma: HRM Advisor will serve as a platform for developing and nurturing the skills required for HRM practitioners to become strategic partners in organisations guiding them through these turbulent organisational dynamics
