Course Description
|
This course
is concerned with the management of an organization's most vital asset -
it's employees. How an organization interacts with its employees can
greatly affect its bottom line success. The human resource
management function is therefore a critical area for business
management. Over the course of this semester, we will explore the multitude
of human resource management issues faced by organizations in creating and
maintaining a skilled, motivated, and satisfied workforce. External
influences on an organization's management of human resources will be
discussed through sessions devoted to public policy, human resource
planning, and labor relations. Traditional personnel areas such as
job analysis, recruitment and selection, performance appraisal, compensation,
and training and development will also be covered in depth.
