This unit critically examines the human resource functions, operations, policies, and practices pertaining to the transfer of employees across national borders for work purposes. The aim is to identify, analyse, and discuss the issues that human resource practitioners face when selecting, employing, and deploying staff in diverse organizational, cultural, and national contexts. This is an advanced unit that applies and builds upon the knowledge acquired in the foundation unit - Managing Human Resources. This unit equips students with the skills needed to effectively manage human resources in international business environments across countries.

Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory.

Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Postgraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Comment from the Discipline as part of the reviews of all PG HR units.
NO teamwork in the ULOs but currently teamwork is in Assessment task 2.
Consider changing ULOs as there should be teamwork in the ULOs but currently, teamwork is not in the ULOs. The new Unit Lead might need to submit UUP for this unit.
Feedback from UC observation
Assessments 1 and 3 and potential AI writing.
Assessments 1 and 3 would need to be modified to make them more authentic to reduce AI writing. This has been discussed with the 2024 Unit Lead.
Feedback from UC observation
Old edition of the textbook
A newer edition of the textbook should be adopted in 2024 and all teaching materials should be fully updated including lecture recordings. This has been discussed with the 2024 Unit Lead.
