Learner goals and capabilities

Would you like to improve relations with/amongst your employees? Do you want to gain insights into the levers to adjust in order to improve organizational effectiveness and business success? In this course, student-consultants working in small groups will analyze the essential elements of the relationship between employers and employees within your organization's context. This analysis will assist in making decisions regarding forming, developing, and managing a workforce and then evaluating feedback regarding the impact of their decisions on business results. The students will develop a report and presentation for your organization upon completion of the project.
