Overview
What is the main goal for this project?

Students will develop a comprehensive HR strategic analysis for an industry partner.

HR is core to the achievement of long-term organizational success at every step from effectively implementing business strategies to attracting, developing, evaluating, motivating and retaining talent. This course constitutes part of three elective courses offered for students wishing to achieve their CPHR designation upon fulfilment of their MBA requirements. Developing effective HR strategies is important to an organization's health and longevity. Students learn to identify, evaluate and develop human capital as strategic resources. Students explore major issues and topics used for addressing contemporary challenges in the workplace. Topics include SHRM, HR planning and strategy, strategic people management, organizational development strategies, corporate social responsibility strategies and human resource management information system strategies.
