In this course, students study the concepts, issues, methods and procedures involved in building and maintaining an effective workforce in an organization. Specific topics include recruitment, selection, appraisal, compensation, benefits, training/development, labor-management relations, discipline, workforce planning and similar functions. The focus will be on the staff human resource management unit of an organization as a way of organizing the study, but applications for every supervisor and manager will be readily apparent. Knowledge of this staff specialty is particularly useful in understanding overall business operations of the organization.
