HLAD - 8105 Healthcare Human Resource Management (3)

Emphasizes the links between and among an organization’s strategy, the environment, organizational stage of development, and HR strategies and activities. It argues that effective HR management creates competitive advantage for the organization and highlights how different HR functions are interrelated. A discussion of strategic HR management is a very effective way to begin a course in this area and to disabuse students of the idea that the course will focus on highly operational (and dreaded) HR functions (for example, determining payroll deductions). It is important to point out that operational functions are extremely important but that the course treats HR from a strategic and general management perspective. The perspective is one in which all HR activities are developed in the context of organizational strategies and goals. One can certainly learn these operational functions, but that is not generally the focus of this course. Instructional Method: LD Lecture-Discussion, Online. Semester Offered: Spring; Summer session. Prerequisite: HLAD 7101 , HLAD 7102 and HLAD-7112.
