Human Resource Management

Program Overview

Human resource management is a collective term for all the formal systems created to help in the management of employees and others shareholders within a company. It’s tasked with the functions of recruitment, compensation, and designation of employees’ work. The role of HRM is to find the best way to increase the productivity level of an organization through employees.

Human Resource Management skills are needed to manage and spur people at both the corporate, business unit, and operational levels of management. The need for human resource personnel for job selection, job design, job placement, and recruitment is vital to hire the right personnel for the right position at the right time.

Objectives

Managing an organization’s people is often the most challenging and complex task required of a manager. It is also the responsibility, if executed well that permits a person to rise to the senior level of management, or prevents a manager from rising to the senior level if done poorly. The objective of the professional Bachelor’s Degree program in Human Resource Management is to teach the basic principles of strategic human resource management—how an organization acquires, rewards motivate, uses, and generally manages its people effectively. In addition to providing a basic legal and conceptual framework for managers, the course will introduce the manager to practices and techniques for evaluating performance, structuring teams, coaching and mentoring people, and performing the wide range of other people-related duties of a manager in today’s increasingly complex workplace. Within this program, students will be exposed to and will discuss current human resource practices and will participate in exercises designed to enhance critical skills. Case studies will be integrated into most of the areas covered.
