Course Lessons

Human Resource Management (HRM) has evolved into a critical function that shapes the culture and success of any organization. It is not merely about managing personnel, but about nurturing a thriving work environment that meets the needs of both the business and its employees.Lesson 2: History of Human Resources
The field of Human Resource Management (HRM) has undergone significant evolution, transforming from a primarily administrative function into a strategic cornerstone of organizational success.Lesson 3: Finding and Hiring the Best
The process of finding and hiring the right talent is much more than simply filling a vacancy; it’s about finding the individual who will thrive within the company’s culture, contribute to the team’s success, and ultimately, help drive the organization forward.Lesson 4: Compensation and Benefits
Beyond the paycheck, employees want a package that balances monetary rewards with opportunities for growth, time off, and the security that comes from comprehensive insurance and retirement plans.Lesson 5: Staying Within Compliance and Creating a Safe Workplace
In the world of modern business, staying compliant with laws and regulations is not just about avoiding penalties—it’s about creating a safe, fair, and productive work environment for everyone.Lesson 6: Training, Employee Recognition, and Discipline
Starting a new job is both thrilling and challenging. For many new employees, it means stepping out of their comfort zone and into a new environment, leaving behind the familiarity of their former workplace.Lesson 7: Professional Development
Employee retention is not solely about offering competitive salaries; it is deeply intertwined with providing opportunities for growth, development, and the ability to continually learn new skills.Lesson 8: Calling It Quits
Terminating an employee is often one of the most challenging responsibilities that a manager or supervisor faces. The conversation is difficult because it can feel personal, even though it’s rooted in professional decisions.Lesson 9: How to Prevent/Respond to Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment has been defined in both legal and psychological terms. In legal terms, it has been defined as a form of sex discrimination that consists of unwelcome verbal or physical conduct directed toward someone on the basis of their sex.Lesson 10: How to Provide Constructive Feedback to an Employee

Workplace conflict is an inevitable part of professional life, often resulting from differences in goals, values, beliefs, and interactions among employees. As organizations become more diverse and dynamic, the potential for conflict increases.Lesson 12: How to Recruit, Interview, and Select Employees
Great organizations are built through the efforts of great people. The cumulative attitudes and efforts of employees ultimately determine the culture, profitability, growth and sustainability of the business. In order for a business to hire and retain great people, there must be an effective recruitment and selection process in place.Lesson 13: How to Measure Employee Productivity
Building a successful business isn’t just about having a great idea or a solid business plan—it’s about having a team that can bring that vision to life with efficiency and dedication.Lesson 14: Employee Rights in the Workforce
As an American worker, you have civil rights protected by various programs in the U.S. government. Knowing these rights is important to protecting your livelihood and well-being.Lesson 15: How to Terminate an Employee
One of the most difficult aspects of a manager's job is terminating an employee. Whether the reason for termination is business-related, performance-related, or for other reasons, terminating an employee is a serious measure and should be done in the most professional, ethical manner possible.Lesson 16: How to Motivate Employees
