Human resource management is an important function in nearly all United States work organizations. HR departments, formerly called personnel departments, have traditionally administered recruitment and placement, training and development, labor relations, compensation and benefits, and performance appraisal systems. In recent decades HR departments have assumed responsibility for workforce diversity and work/family programs, and currently they have become important contributors to strategic planning and organizational change processes. The field of HR offers variety in entry-level positions and dynamic work environments.
Practical Program Objectives
