Human Resource Management (HRM)

Course details

              HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
 
Course Overview

This course provides a robust introduction to the key principles, policies, and practices of human resource management. The specialization begins with a foundational course that considers alternative approaches to managing human resources, provides a background to the legal context in which employees are hired, fired, rewarded, and managed, and outlines the different reasons that people are motivated to work. The remaining three courses tackle three core areas that all managers should understand: hiring employees, evaluating their performance, and rewarding them. Throughout the courses, an accessible, scientific approach is embraced such that best practices and practical tips are informed by research, but presented in accessible, applied ways.
 
Course Description

Human Resources (HR) Management is vital to the success of every business and every employee. HR is responsible for ensuring compliance with regulations - but they are also responsible for keeping employees engaged and motivated to do good work. The ability to balance both equally is a skill that requires knowledge and practice.
 
Yet many start-ups, small businesses and 'accidental' HR managers (administrative assistants or office managers who find them selves doing HR as part of their duties) focus on compliance. While corporate policies and labor practices are important, they don't drive the success of your business.
If you are a small business owner who wants a deeper understanding of HR, someone looking for a job in HR or an administrative professional whose duties include HR, this course is for you. It provides a general introduction to the role and duties of HR, with a little insight into taking your HR responsibilities to the next level.
