CLASS OVERVIEW:

The management of employees, or personnel, was once considered simple and mundane. But, times have changed. You are part of this change. In fact, you might be driving this change. This course views getting people to want to work for you as an artform, a psychological adventure, a coup. How do you set yourself apart from the others? What makes you the best employer? How do you manage to get ahead because those who work for and with you want to make you a success? These are just some of the questions I hope you answer in this course on human resource management. We will cover all the "stuff" such as laws, unions, safety and turnover. More excitingly, you will learn techniques on how to effectively advertise for employees, hiring procedures, and different training techniques that will keep the wheels turning and the profits churning.
