Diversity & Talent Management

3 credits · Fuqua School of Business

Human resource management (HRM) is a central function of any organization. Key to effective HR management is an organization's ability to identify, deploy, motivate, and retain human capital. It involves leadership, values, workforce planning, training, rewards, and evaluating performance. For leaders, one of their most important goals is to create sustainable settings for productive exchange and interaction where all members can thrive and put their best foot forward. To do this, they must understand how to motivate and communicate with people from different backgrounds and also ensure that the organization's policies, practices, and procedures create (not hinder) a culture where everyone has equal opportunity to succeed. This course is for Global Executive MBA and Weekend Executive MBA students.
