Welcome to the CHRM

The Centre for Human Resource Management comprises Department of Management and Marketing researchers with interests in Human Resource Management. The Centre's members bring a broad range of disciplinary perspectives (from industrial relations, psychology, economics and sociology) and methodological expertise to bear upon contemporary human resource challenges.

Established in 1999, and located within the Department of Management and Marketing at the University of Melbourne, the Centre for Human Resource Management operates as a bridge between the academic and business communities. Its aim is to facilitate research on employment issues and disseminate research findings to impact practice and policy. Centre members regularly engage in collaborative work with industry partners to address problems of mutual interest.

The Centre for Human Resource Management organises programs and events designed to promote research on human resource management topics and develop the skills of human resource management researchers. The Centre regularly hosts international visitors and in 2005-2007 is sponsoring a series of research methods workshops for academic researchers.

In addition to research activities, the Centre for Human Resource Management fosters the career development of HR professionals by providing continuing education opportunities through its seminars, lecture series, and Business Forum events.
