About

The Human Resource Management Association (HRMA) was established in 1999. Human Resources (HR) is the function of a business that is responsible for attracting, recruiting and maintaining talent (smart, productive employees) in an organization. HR Professionals work on behalf of an organization to implement effective policies, practices and systems that influence an employee’s attitude, behaviour and performance to attain the organization’s goals. The aim of establishment was to encourage students with an interest in HR to learn about the industry by networking with professionals, attending events focused on various areas of HR and engaging in HR-related projects at Brock University and in the community.

A major communication channel  for providing insight into the HR function of a business is the Lunch ‘N’ Learn series. Each year, the HRMA hosts a series of workshops and guest speaker events that cover a variety of HR related topics, issues and industry trends.

In addition to the Lunch ‘N’ Learn sessions, the association involves its members in projects within the University and Community not-for-profit organizations, developing policies, creating recruitment plans and managing student performance to be formally recognized.
