HUMAN RESOURCES
General Information:
The human resources field has advanced beyond its early clerical functions of managing employee
benefits and recruiting, interviewing, and hiring new personnel. Increasingly, today's human
resources professionals work with the organization's top executives on strategic planning--using
their expertise to suggest and change policies which affect the workforce. Senior management is
recognizing the importance of the human resources department to the bottom line. A bachelor's
degree is the typical entry-level requirement in human resources. You'll develop further insights
into human resources functions and outside influences on modern business such as economic,
social, and legal issues. You may obtain a more strategic understanding of workforce planning and
development, training, compensations and benefits, global human resource management, employee
health and safety, and labor law.
