Course Description

Leaders are increasingly required to take on human resources management (HRM) responsibilities in their organizations—such as hiring, training, scheduling, retaining, and performance management. To be effective, leaders need to continually learn and apply current and relevant HRM solutions to make sound decisions that comply with legislation, policy, and best practices.
