Global Human Resources Mgmt

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

The highly interconnected global economy poses immense opportunities as well as challenges for organizations around the world. For multinationals striving to compete in complex and turbulent business environments, one serious challenge they face is leveraging talent for competitive advantage. Human Resources (HR) professionals are expected to play a critical role in this area, developing talent strategies to support their organization’s strategic plans across borders and cultures. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills required to effectively manage people in a global environment. You will explore how the global contexts in which multinationals operate influence their people strategies at home and abroad, and how to develop HR practices to unleash their global workforce. Combining theory and practice, and using real-world case studies, the course covers all the key functional areas of global HR — from strategic HR, to talent acquisition and mobility, performance and rewards, talent and organization development, and employment relations and risk management.
