The role of HR in workplaces

- The world of work we are in will be a very different one in five, 10 and 20 years time, and HR is a key part of designing that future shape and operating system. Work, people, organizations and the part played by the human resource profession is more interesting, challenging and complex than ever. To many people, HR is about hiring people, training them and paying them, yet in the midst of these crucial aspects we have organizational values, culture, leadership and performance. Plus career paths, diversity, inclusion, innovation, change and advancing digital technologies. In this course, we'll look at the foundation of effective HR practice and look at some of the specialized elements that tackle the challenges of 21st century work and life. Join me, Perry Timms, where we will explore what it takes to be a strategic, influential part of the demanding and fascinating work of the human resources profession.
