COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course covers the current issues within human
resource management, and provides a complete, comprehensive review of essential
human resource management concepts and techniques. Considering the intensely
competitive nature of business today, this course focuses on both the theoretical and
practical aspects of the broad human resource functions that all managers can use to deal
3
with their HR-related responsibilities, while being able to defend their plans and
contributions in measurable terms.
The theoretical discipline is based primarily on the assumption that employees are
individuals with varying goals and needs, and as such should not be thought of as basic
business resources, such as trucks and filing cabinets whereas HRM is seen by
practitioners as a more innovative view of workplace management than the traditional
approach. HRM is also seen by many to have a key role in risk reduction within
organizations.
This course starts with introduction to the role of human resource management, and then
covers recruitment and placement, training and development, performance management
and appraisal, managing careers, compensation, labor relations and collective bargaining,
ethics, justice, and fair treatment in HR management and employee safety and health, and
managing global human resources.
