Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2022-23

Human resources are one of the key elements for the success of the tourist company in the current competitive environment, so it is essential to know the problems involved in the direction and management of personnel and to know how to apply some of the main tools that are commonly used by companies in the sector to achieve the best possible results.

In order to get people to add value to the organization, it is necessary to analyze the main objectives, techniques and management systems and personnel management. For this reason, this subject offers an eminently applicable treatment to the world of tourism business, since it focuses on how to direct and motivate the main asset of any business organization: people. This issue is especially important in a type of organization such as tourism, where one of the key factors of success is personalized service and treatment with the client.

It is not, therefore, about training human resources managers, but that anyone who works in a company, whether large or small, or as an employee, middle manager or manager, knows what role they can play in development of a personnel function that adds value to your company.

This subject is related to:

- fundamentals of business economics

- production operations and processes

- labor law.

- strategic management of tourism companies

- quality management in tourism

- growth strategies of tourist companies

- trends and innovation in the hotel sector.
