Overview
This Human Resource Management - HR for People Managers Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Minnesota provides a robust introduction to the key principles, policies, and practices of human resource management.
The specialization begins with a foundational course that considers alternative approaches to managing human resources, provides a background to the U.S. legal context in which employees are hired, fired, rewarded, and managed, and outlines the different reasons that people are motivated to work.
Key facts
- The remaining three courses tackle three core areas that all managers should understand: hiring employees, evaluating their performance, and rewarding them.
- Throughout the courses, an accessible, scientific approach is embraced such that best practices and practical tips are informed by research, but presented in accessible, applied ways.
- Upon completing the specialization, learners will have a deeper understanding of what works in the workplace, including a toolkit of best practices for hiring, managing, and rewarding employees.
- The specialization will be valuable for managers and entrepreneurs taking on these responsibilities as well as anyone else interested in the fundamental principles of human resource management.
- The Capstone Project will provide an opportunity to apply this knowledge to a real situation, including your own organization or work unit if desired.
