Course Scope and Mission
No organization can succeed without harnessing the talents and abilities of its employees.
Companies that successfully attract, retain, and support the best employees gain a strategic advantage over their competitors through increased performance and reduced turnover costs.
Decisions about when and whom to hire, how much to pay, what training to offer, and how to evaluate employees thus have important consequences for an organization’s ability to reach its objectives. As the strategic value of human capital increases, effective human resource management becomes even more vital to a company’s success.
Course Objectives
1) Develop a critical understanding of different HRM practices and how they relate to an organization’s overall business strategy. For students interested in careers in HR, this course satisfies the HRM course requirement for HRPA certification.
2) Gain hands-on experience with HR activities through performance-based simulations.
3) Learn to analyze current events from the perspective of an HR professional.
4) Strengthen your research, analysis, and communication skills.
Expectations for Success
1) Always finish assigned readings before each class.
2) Actively participate in class discussions, group work, and exercises.
3) Complete and submit all graded assignments before the deadline.
4) Stay engaged and informed! Think deeply about the material!
