About this program
Graduate Certificate in Human Resources
Learn to build great teams and your leadership skills in just 9 months.
Developed for current high potential Human Resource professionals and those interested in moving into HR, the Graduate Certificate in Human Resources will help you identify and retain resources, build careers and help forge the kind of teams that change lives and companies. Students can apply credits earned in this program towards the Jack Welch MBA with Human Resources concentration and receive a tuition credit.
Program content
Through three graduate courses, students will learn techniques often reserved for only high potential executives:
Recruit, Develop, Assess, Reward, Retain
Learn to attract the best people, reward the right behaviors and develop better leaders within your organization and see how the principles of differentiation, trust, and candor drive winning results. This course is an introduction to people management, with a focus on putting people before numbers, nurturing talent, and practicing fair and balanced management. You will explore the concept of differentiation in employee management, examine ways to enhance the employee experience, and determine the best metrics to track to achieve organizational goals.
Strategic Partnering with the C-Suite
Human Resources encompass much more than benefits and birthdays. A leader must find ways to navigate past this perception themselves with not only a seat at the table but as an independent confidant to the CEO. Students will explore how to align the competencies and behaviors of the workforce with the strategic goals of the organization. Also, Human Resource leaders need to develop themselves as in-house experts in dealing with complex ethical and legal issues facing employers today. Students will examine the various regulatory agencies, policies, and guidelines impacting the workforce and identify ways to ensure compliance while driving results. Students will learn about the impact of Federal and State Regulations as they pertain to employee relations, compensation, hiring, and terminations.
Lead Change by Putting People First
As Jack states, “Every time you talk about changing, you have to put together the rationale for the change. You have to answer the question of what’s in it for the people who are forced to do something different than they are used to doing.” Business leaders need to stay ahead of the game and help people within their organization to understand that change is constant and that effective change management is needed to win. Students will explore the role of Human Resources in executing successful change management initiatives within an organization.
