The course takes the perspective that HRM plays an important and growing role in the success of organizations and effective HRM is a shared responsibility of human resources professionals and the organization’s managers. LEARNING OUTCOMES & OVERALL OBJECTIVES § Introduce the fundamental aspects of HRM critical to organizational effectiveness. § Provide an introduction to the content knowledge of HRM as a basis for further
learning and application. § Provide an introduction to the process knowledge of HRM as a basis for developing
abilities to participate in applying strategies and tools. § Enhance your teamwork skills through group exercises and in-class engagement. RESOURCES:

It is not necessary to purchase a print edition of the textbook. The e-book (includes CONNECT) may be a lower cost option. PREPARATION & INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS § This course is language heavy from both a teaching and assessment perspective. § I follow the textbook closely; it serves as a helpful resource. § You will benefit significantly from reading the assigned chapter before class. • If you miss a class, it is up to you to get notes, assigned activities, etc. from another
participant in the class.
