About the Group

The Department of Human Resource Management (HRM) comprises of a growing team of around 15 full-time scholars and a strong group of associated researchers and HDR students who address contemporary questions about the nature of work and the workforce. We work across multiple industries, government, not-for-profit and business sectors in Australia and internationally. Our academics have expertise in human resource management, industrial relations, organisational psychology, and people analytics.

Our research is action-oriented and sensitive to context. Through our applied research we directly influence national and international public policy debates, and organisational and industry policy and practice, and the development of well-rounded, ethical professionals in HRM. Human resource management and performance, people analytics, mental health and wellbeing at work are key themes of our HRM research.

We have growing interest in people analytics, and its increasing use and potential value to support decisions related to people and organisations. We are also concerned with the ethics of the use of people analytics, and how to integrate both quantitative, qualitative and plural perspectives for its enrichment.
