About the Certificate
People are a critical component of all organizations. They are the ones who produce the products, serve the customers, verify the financial statements, attract the customers, develop the innovations, and manage the enterprise. Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a crucial role in this arena as its strategies and tactics:
- facilitate attracting and selecting from a diverse talent pool and developing that talent for continued growth and engagement;
- create motivation and reward systems that support individual and organizational goals;
- ensure talent retention; and
- ultimately generate success.
Our graduate certificate is designed for career accelerators as well as career changers. Courses are delivered online and include virtual classroom meetings with a Fox School of Business faculty member and student-classmates. Rigorous, hands-on courses are taught by faculty who are leaders in their fields and businesspeople who have led HR groups. Participants also have the option to transfer credits earned into a Fox graduate degree program, such as the Human Resource Management M.S.
Some questions answered in this certificate program are:
- How does one acquire talent efficiently and effectively?
- How can compensation be used to support organizational goals?
- What are the key public policy issues related to HRM?
- How do ethical HRM practices contribute to the enterprise’s success?
The HRM certificate program is appropriate for:
- current human resource practitioners seeking to enhance their careers with new strategies and cutting-edge knowledge;
