Overall Educational Objective To acquire basic knowledge of human resources management from the perspective of all stakeholders of a company, to make sense of the human side of the business world and to transform this understanding into a better organizational effect.
Course Description Today, it is accepted that the most important resource for businesses to have a sustainable competitive advantage is human resources. To effectively manage human resources, leaders/managers, HR professionals, and employees must know how to effectively use human capital in an organization through the management of people-related activities. In addition, the global workforce has become more diverse in recent years and is expected to increase further in the coming years. Organizations have already recognized the importance of their employees, regardless of gender, age, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, and other dimensions of diversity, to remain competitive on the global stage. Therefore, diversity and inclusion management has evolved to a new level, this time including “Equality”. HR concepts, tools, techniques, models, current issues, and core HR functions such as recruitment, training and development, performance management, retention, employee engagement, compensation and business relations are among the contents of the course.
Course Description in Turkish Günümüzde işletmelerin sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajına sahip olabilmesi için en önemli kaynağın insan kaynağı olduğu kabul edilmektedir. İnsan kaynaklarını etkili bir şekilde yönetmek için liderler / yöneticiler, İK uzmanları ve çalışanlar, insanlarla ilgili faaliyetlerin yönetimi yoluyla bir organizasyonda insan sermayesini nasıl etkin bir şekilde kullanacaklarını bilmelidirler. Ayrıca, küresel iş gücü son yıllarda daha çeşitli hale gelmiştir ve önümüzdeki yıllarda daha da artması beklenmektedir. Kuruluşlar, küresel sahnede rekabetçi kalabilmek için cinsiyet, yaş, ırk/etnisite, cinsel yönelim, din ve çeşitliliğin diğer boyutlarından bağımsız olarak çalışanlarının önemini çoktan fark etmişlerdir. Dolayısıyla çeşitlilik ve kapsayıcılık yönetimi, bu kez “Eşitlik” de dahil olmak üzere yeni bir düzeye evrilmiştir. İK kavramları, araçları, teknikleri, modelleri, güncel sorunları ve işe alma, eğitim ve geliştirme, performans yönetimi, elde tutma, çalışan bağlılığı, ücretlendirme ve iş ilişkileri gibi temel İK fonksiyonları dersin konuları arasındadır.
