Diploma in Human Resource Management
All
organisations, irrespective of whether they are from the private
sector, the government sector, or the not-for-profit sector, need to
use resources like energy, finance, human resource, information,
material, physical assets, etc., to function. Among these resources,
the human resource is of paramount importance. It is the human resource
that work with and through the other resources to produce the goods
and/or services at optimum levels in the most effective way, to satisfy
the demands of the general population. The human resource provide the
creativity, innovativeness, stimulation, agility and nimbleness,
competitive vigour and dynamism, to develop, grow, and undertake change
in organisations, to seek out and adopt opportunities for expansion, as
well as to fend off threats, that can arise from the environment.
To ensure that the organization is staffed adequately with a
viable human resource workforce of human capital formation, the
organisation must undertake a continuous process of acquisition,
development, motivation, maintenance, fulfill statutory requirements,
and separation functions. The disciplinary knowledge and skills
associated with the human resource management functional areas, form

This Diploma programme is offered by the School of Human
Resource Management at Stamford College Kuala Lumpur. The School has a
slogan which is: Character Keeps Pulling First Rank. This slogan was
drafted with a focus on values which bring out the sterling qualities
required of the human resource in any type of organisation. From the
word, Character, come the alphabet, ﾓcﾔ for caring, commitment,
cooperation, and courtesy; ﾓhﾔ for honesty, ﾓaﾔ for accountability, and
ﾓtﾔ for trust. The next word, Keeps, can refer to keeping promises. The
word, Pulling, has ﾓpﾔ for pursuit of excellence, and ﾓlﾔ for loyalty
and learning. From the word, First, come the alphabet ﾓfﾔ for fairness;
ﾓiﾔ for integrity, and ﾓrﾔ for respect for others. The last word, Rank,
contains another alphabet ﾓrﾔ for responsible citizenship. From time to
time, attempts will be made to sell the importance of these values
during the lectures for the various subjects in the programme.
