Human resources encompasses much more than benefits and birthdays. Leaders must find ways to
navigate past this perception and position themselves with not only a seat at the table, but as an
independent confidant to the CEO. Students will explore how to align the competencies and behaviors of the
workforce with the strategic goals of the organization. In addition, human resource leaders need to develop
themselves as the in-house experts on dealing with complex ethical and legal issues facing employers today.
Students will examine the various regulatory agencies, policies and guidelines impacting the workforce, and
identify ways to ensure compliance while driving results. Students will learn about the impact of federal
and state regulations as they pertain to employee relations, compensation, hiring and terminations.
