Long Courses

Bachelor of Science in Human Resources Management

Human Resources Management is a dynamic career field that has evolved from a more behind-the-scenes position to working with company executives on strategic planning for maximizing employee performance, satisfaction and retention. This includes areas such as attracting the most qualified candidates, matching employees to jobs that best utilize their strengths, designing and maintaining employee compensation and benefits packages, creating/adhering to grievance procedures, and ensuring that applicable labor laws are implemented properly.

In the realm of human resources there are many different areas included such as staff training and development, labor relations, employee compensation and benefits, and recruiting. In smaller companies, a Human Resources Generalist or Human Resources Manager may be responsible for handling all or most of the HR functions within the company. In larger companies, departments of specialists handle each individual area and are managed by a department manager who reports to the Director of Human Resources.

Employment, Recruitment and Placement

Professionals in this occupation are responsible for following federal regulations and internal policies when employees are recruited/hired and terminated. If the company has a very active recruitment initiative, a recruiter will travel often and maintain contacts with organizations that have desirable employees available for work (such as high schools, colleges, and workforce development centers).

Compensation, Benefits and Job Analysis

Specialists in this area of human resources may be in charge of determining the pay scale of occupations within the company, job descriptions, and/or the company’s benefits packages offered to employees such as compensation, benefits and job analysis. For employees facing difficult personal or professional situations, workers in this group may also take an employee assistance role, offering advice and counseling. As health care costs escalate, benefits specialists are often asked to shop different insurance companies in order to provide the best rate and package to employees. They may also be asked to find other benefits (such as additional retirement savings plans, tuition reimbursement or wellness programs) that can be added to the package to help attract top talent and keep employees satisfied while paying the higher health care costs.

Training and Staff Development

In order to maintain an efficient workforce, an organization must commit to training newly hired employees and developing staff. Staff training boosts company morale and fosters corporate loyalty, assists workers who desire to sharpen their skills in their current positions and get promoted, as well as a better position within the corporation for growth and profitability. The duties of a trainer can vary greatly depending on the organization; some trainers may need to develop online training programs and assessments/evaluations, some may teach classroom-style sessions, and others might simulate a typical day running a factory machine.

Employee Relations

Employee Relations Specialists oversee industrial labor relations, union contract negotiations, and grievance procedure. Specialists who work in labor relations must have up to date knowledge of all federal as well as in-house labor laws and labor relations policies. In addition, the role of mediator or arbitrator during labor relations disputes is played by them.

The ability to work with people in a variety of capacities plus verbal and written communication skills are important to have when you are seeking a career in human resources. HR professionals must be able think clearly and unbiased when handling or mediating conflicts and disputes, as well as learn and comply with federal and state laws regarding employee relations.

Human resources professionals are often required to think critically, perform research, interpret documentation, and act as an instructor. Standard business software programs are a pre-requisite for all occupations.
