ECB 328 - Human Capital Management (1)

With the transition to a knowledge-based workforce, designing and implementing effective human capital systems is essential. This class will utilize cases and hands on simulations to facilitate understanding of the leaders’ role in implementing and utilizing effective human capital systems. We will focus on the processes of talent acquisition, learning and development, performance management, and career/succession planning and understand how these human capital processes impact both the success of the business/organizational strategy and the engagement of people. Through the study of human capital, we find that the traditional Human Resources role has expanded to include not only implementation of controls and services for internal customers, but also the importance of the partnership among leaders, employees and human resources professionals.
