Human resource management - Human Resources Practices

Become an HR leader by influencing organizational leaders and aligning HR strategy. Use diversity and inclusion to increase profits, develop a talent management culture, and engage employees.

Description
The development and execution of a human resources strategy that is aligned with organizational goals and matched to an organization's competencies delivers tangible outcomes for an organization's people, customers, and shareholders. Such a strategy is based on transforming HR from a "business partner" to a "business leader" which requires in-depth knowledge of advanced and emerging HR topics. As a leader, HR plays a significant role, not only in human-capital development, but in how human capital can contribute to the execution of organizational and business strategies. This certificate program from Cornell University's ILR School develops the leadership competencies required make this transformation.

The courses in this series focus on the drivers for transforming HR into a world-class function: the HR leader's influence on strategy and organizational leaders, alignment of HR strategy, using diversity and inclusion to achieve bottom-line results, developing a talent-management culture, strategies for employee engagement, and using metrics to measure impact on business outcomes. Each course explores a topic in depth, with particular emphasis on the role of the HR leader, industry best practices, and short projects that emphasize the application to your particular organization.
