Detailed Description
In this course, students will develop an overall understanding of Human Resources fundamentals, including planning, attracting, developing, motivating and maintaining an effective workforce. As they build their foundational knowledge, students will explore numerous topics, such as the human resource planning process and the roles of unions and their effect on human resource management. Students will analyze the common challenges and strategies of successful recruitment, selection and orientation practices while becoming familiar with training and development methods. They will apply their understanding of employment legislation to determine its impact on various human resource practices and policies, including diversity, equity and inclusion. The influences of compensation and benefits on employee performance and retention will also be examined. By the end of this course, students will be able to describe how various proactive, value driven human resource management activities contribute to the execution of the organization's strategic priorities. This course meets the Human Resource Management course requirement for both the Canadian Institute of Management's (CIM) Chartered Management Program (CMP) and the Human Resources Professional Association's (HRPA) Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) and Certified Human Resource Leader (CHRL) designations.
