Managing Talent

Catalog description

This course provides real-world insights into how organizations manage talent. We will cover the trends, topics, and technologies that are reshaping what talent management looks like in contemporary organizations. In doing so, you will gain valuable insights into how to manage your own career. We will talk about how organizations recruit and select employees and discuss different approaches to training, developing, and rewarding talent. We will review developments in employing people analytics, using new HR-focused technologies, engaging consultants, and more. In addition to covering the theory and research that guides best practices, we will hear from guest speakers who wrestle with these issues daily through a series of “Talent in Action” conversations and engage alumni to provide insights into exciting (and likely somewhat surprising) career opportunities in human resources.
