The role of an HR professional in today’s organization is more important than ever. The role has changed from merely being recognized as a support function to the trusted business partner in growth, from controller and compliance to enabler, from being reactive to proactive, from regressive to progressive, from being rigid to flexible and agile, from process-centric to employee centric, from theory/philosophy-driven to data and evidence driven, from just being operational to strategic, technology shy to user of high-end sophisticated technologies. The role is that of an enabler – enabling organizations to be agile and effective, enabling business leaders to achieve organizational objectives and execute growth strategies, and enabling employees for high performance and reach their potential.

However, globally there is a dearth of such quality HR professionals. Addressing this need, TAPMI’s MBA-HRM program is aimed at producing thought leaders in human resources who can effectively manage people and organizations for high performance. With a mission of creating value through people, the program is focused on delivering a comprehensive course curriculum in human resources to build exceptional behavioral (individual, team and leadership), functional, strategic and institutional (employee relations and industrial relations) HR competencies which empowers participants to become strategic partners for business.
