Management Programmes in Human Resource Management

Vlerick expertise in Human Resource Management

1. Recruitment and selection are the main performance indicators for HR departments in Belgium

   The main priorities of Belgian human resources departments are still leadership development, recruitment & selection and talent management. This is evident from the third successive annual HR Barometer study by the HR consultancy firm Hudson and Vlerick Business school. This year, the HR Barometer study examined the impact of Belgian personnel policy on the organisation in greater depth.

2. Belgian HR managers more often involved in business strategy

   Belgian HR managers are increasingly becoming strategic business partners in companies. Furthermore, businesses are recruiting fewer external people for this position. When assessing staff performance, companies still predominantly prefer the traditional interview. Remuneration is increasingly based on individual performance. Coaching and mentoring are on the way up as methods for furthering the growth and development of staff. And finally, recruitment through job advertisements has shown a downward trend.
