WHAT IS GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT?

Human resource management is one of the world’s fastest growing fields and presents

unprecedented opportunity for global advancement. The global human resource management course

prepares you to deal with all aspects of human resources within the worldwide context, including

US-based organizations doing business internationally and non-US-based organizations operating

worldwide.

Global Human Resource Management (HRMN 467) is a comprehensive study of global human

resource management. On completion of this course, you will be able to demonstrate intercultural

competencies, identify trends in the globalized workforce, and analyze policies, practices, and

functions in global human resources. To do this, you will design a strategic staffing plan that includes

recruiting, training, compensation, and evaluation. You will also complete a reflective exercise to

assess your intercultural competencies and discuss current trends in global human resources.
