Hiring and Keeping the Best People

Human resources responsibilities fall on the shoulders of managers and supervisors in all areas of an organization, not just in the human resources department. As a manager, you might take part in job forecasting and job skills analysis as a strategic step to manage growth. Ideally, you might also be involved in developing job descriptions and participating in the interview process. Also, a primary day-to-day responsibility is managing employee performance.

In this course, you will learn about these human resource concepts. We will work through the hiring process, from conducting a skills inventory to interviewing. We will talk about the role of employee orientation and performance management. Finally, we will discuss other common issues that arise during the employment experience. These include managing diversity, conflict, compensation plans, and disciplinary issues.
