Human Resource Management

Catalog description

This course examines the policies and practices used by human resource management teams to build and maintain an effective workforce. A major issue is the changing role of Human Resources (HR) in organizations. HR was once a clerical function that was relegated to the lower echelons of the organization; today more companies have elevated the HR function to an integral part of the senior planning team. Topics covered include: human resource planning, job analysis, recruitment, selection, performance appraisal, workforce development, compensation, discipline and discharge, workplace safety and health, and labor relations.
