Industrial Sociology

Industrial sociology concerns itself with two basic characteristics of industry and the workplace. It examines the production of goods and services in society, and specifically the nature of the social relations involved in the production process.

These social relations may be of a harmonious nature, or they may create conditions of conflict. The second element is the analysis of the tasks that individuals perform in the workplace to see if these tasks provide for the satisfaction of human needs.

Understanding the industrial arena from the sociological concept is a major advantage for anyone interested in the workforce.

Easier than I thought - ask for Laura!

It was easier than I thought it would be - this makes me very happy! Laura was super helpful and easy to talk to about concerns and fee's. Her knowledge of the course content was impressive, there was no "hold the line caller whilst I check". She also listened and gave me great advice before sourcing solutions to help me progress. There was no messing around, within 1.5 hours I had enquired, received two phone calls and signed up. Laura has assured me she'll check in and see how I'm getting on and I believe her. It feels good to have a dedicated course manager that I can contact at any point. Thanks Laura for bringing humour, empathy and encouragement on our call.
