Curso 1 de 5 en SpecializationHuman Resource Management: HR for People Managers

One way or another, all employees are managed. But approaches to managing employees varying from employee-to-employee, job-to-job, manager-to-manager, organization-to-organization, and country-to-country. This course provides a foundation for developing your own approach to skillfully managing employees by illustrating alternative human resource management (HRM) strategies, introducing the importance of the legal context, and thinking about what motivates employees. This will then give you the factual and conceptual basis for developing specific, critical HRM skills in subsequent courses on hiring employees, managing performance, and rewarding employees. Don't know anything about HRM? That's OK! Leave this course with a new-found understanding of the range of options available for managing employees, a grasp of what makes workers tick, and the readiness to develop your own HRM skills.

De la lección

The People Manager as Part of a Complex System

Welcome to the fourth and final module of this course! In this section, we'll finish laying a foundation for managing human resources by looking at the constraints faced by managers, especially the legal environment. After completing this module, you will be able to… • Explain at least four constraints that influence how human resources are managed in a particular organization. • Compare the ways in which the law does and does not see employment as a typical contractual relationship. • Create a list of legal and illegal HRM practices in your country. • Judge when to use strategies for managing people that go beyond what the law requires.

And here we are, the very last video of them all.

At least for my course.

I think we both earned some time to relax like my friends are doing

here in this picture that I took recently.

But also as my friends are doing,

I think we should take this opportunity to look ahead and see what lies in front.

We're concluding the first class in a four course specialization on HR for

People Managers.

This course lays a foundation for three specialized classes that follow.

A course in recruiting, hiring, and onboarding employees, and

then managing their performance once they're in your work group, and

then managing their compensation or reward.

And then the specialization will conclude with a capstone project

that allows you to pull all of this together in an applied way.

So in terms of the People Manager Valued Proposition,

I've been focused here on this horizontal part.

We've looking at organizational, objectives, needs, and values and

translating that into HR strategies

to drive organizational goals through employee performance.

Performance. And again, this lays a foundation for

this three specialized classes, which will be taught by my

University of Minnesota colleagues, who are experts in each of those areas.

And I'm gonna let each of them introduce their course to you now.

>> Finding and hiring the right people is often cited as the number one concern

of businesses today.

It seems we are all competing for the best and brightest workers.

As you will see in our time together in the second course,

a critical component of the people manager value proposition is to hire talented

people who enable the organization to achieve its strategic goals.

At the outset of the course we will explore the importance of linking

recruitment goals with overall company strategy.

We then look at a number of options to recruit and

select employees both effectively and legally.

Throughout the course, we will examine current issues in talent acquisition,

such as how companies are now leveraging social media and

hiring analytics to ensure better quality hires.

>> Once you have hired good employees, the next step that successful people managers

take is to develop the full potential of their employees.

Performance management is a process that helps managers

achieve the goal of getting the best from their employees.

In the performance management course, we'll discuss the skills and

key processes you will need to develop your employees to attain department and

organizational goals.

These skills will include setting clear expectations, providing positive and

corrective feedback, and delivering an effective performance appraisal.

>> Successful people managers must also know how to reward employees.

You begin from the question, what kind of person must we attract, retain,

and motivate in order to execute our business strategy?

We'll discuss how your answer to that question can help you design

salary structures, benefits, short term incentives, and

long term incentives that are aligned to your business strategy.

We'll also help you evaluate benefits and ensure compliance.

>> Throughout the specialization, we present best practices and tips that

are grounded in practical learnings >> As well as scholarship in the field.

When you're done, you'll have a deeper understanding of what works in

the workplace as well as the tool kit for hiring, managing, and

rewarding employees effectively.

So we thought carefully about the design and

implementation of this HR specialization.

It's backed up by over 50 years of teaching experience among

the lead instructors as well as 70 years of University of Minnesota expertise and

leadership in this area.

Let each of us help you be a better manager and leader of people.
