DEALING WITH LEGAL ISSUES IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Course Description
In the past, Human Resource Management (HRM) was called the personnel department. In the past, the personnel department hired people and dealt with the hiring paperwork and processes. More recently, however, the personnel department has divided into Human Resource Management and Human Resource Development, as these functions have evolved over the century. HRM is not only crucial to an organization’s success, but it should be part of the overall company’s strategic plan, because so many businesses today depend on people to earn profits. Strategic planning plays an important role in how productive the organization is.
