This course involves the study of research techniques as they pertain to the measurement and conditioning of workforce behaviour. The course provides knowledge related to the introduction of electronic HR information systems (HRIS) into an organization by discovering project management, planning and implementation models. The value of HRIS to effective HR research activities will be explored by looking at actual practices of HR professionals.
A basic study is undertaken regarding the principles, issues, trends and legislative requirements affecting recruitment and selection. Human resources (HR) professionals need an understanding of how recruitment and selection fits into the broader organizational structure, processes and goals of an organization and how this function is related to other functions of human resources management. Students will acquire the knowledge and skills needed to successfully identify human resource requirements and attract and retain an effective workforce for an organization. The changing legal environment and the impact of laws on recruitment and selection are an important component of this subject.
The purpose of this course is to examine the principles, processes and theories involved in the design and administration of compensation programs. Emphasis is placed on linking compensation strategy to corporate strategy, applying behavioural theories in the design of compensation programs and implementing, managing and adapting compensation programs.
Human Resources professionals have access to very sensitive employee information and are often involved in sensitive HR matters. Unintended disclosure of such information may have tremendous impact on employees' and institutions' overall workplace well-being. This is especially true in our digital era. Continuing education in the area of privacy is crucial to the HR professional in a vastly changing marketplace.
