The purpose of this course is to assist students in understanding the principles, policies and practices related to the procurement, development, maintenance, and utilization of human resources and the legal, cultural and organizational contexts in which these practices occur. Students examine Human Resource Management's role in the organization, including its historical evolution within the United States during the last 100 years, its charge to develop human capital and its impact on firm success, as well as the partnership of line managers and HR departments. Students will identify the legal issues associated with organizational layoffs and the business and people issues when making layoff decisions, understand the HR practices that support the success of corporate mergers and acquisitions, understand business strategies and learn how to devise HR practices to support them, understand the general provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA); identify measures that create a safe work environment as well as examining the role of the employee assistance programs and identifying services for building a health workplace. In addition, students will learn measurement strategies that link HR practices to achieving bottom-line business results, learn how technology can provide decision support mechanisms that allow HR to make short- and long-term decisions and can streamline transactional HR activities to allow HR professionals to focus on strategic activities. Students will examine a number of aspects of federal employment law, examine the concepts and practice of employment relationship, employment contract, employee rights and employer responsibilities as well as career planning and development from both organizational and individual perspectives.
