BUSA 381 Human Resource Management
Human Resource Management is a specialization within the field of Management that encompasses several functions including the recruitment, selection, and maintenance of a qualified, motivated, and productive workforce. The effective performance of these functions requires understanding and skill in employment law, planning, job analysis, recruitment, selection, orientation, training, employee development, performance appraisal, compensation, benefits, safety, and labor relations. Even if you do not enter into a career in Human Resources, you should understand the topics covered in this course since the job of the general manager is to supervise people as well as financial and material resources. Since managers' report that they spend about half their time dealing with "people-related" issues, it is important that you are introduced to the major topics associated with managing people in the context of the global marketplace. Furthermore, this course will be useful no matter what career path you pursue since it addresses issues that will have an impact on you in the workplace.
