Description
The development and execution of a human resources strategy that is aligned with organizational goals and matched to an organization's competencies delivers tangible outcomes for an organization's people, customers, and shareholders. Such a strategy requires transforming HR from a "business partner" to a "business leader." As a leader, HR plays a significant role, not only in human-capital development, but in how human capital can contribute to the execution of organizational and business strategies. This certificate program from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations develops the leadership competencies required make this transformation.
The courses in this series focus on several drivers for transforming HR into a world-class function: the HR leader's influence on strategy and organizational leaders, alignment of HR strategy, using diversity and inclusion to achieve bottom-line results, developing a talent-management culture, strategies for employee engagement, and using metrics to measure impact on business outcomes. Each course explores a topic in depth, with particular emphasis on the role of the HR leader, industry best practices, and short projects that emphasize the application to your particular organization.
Who Should Take This Certificate?
This certificate series is designed for manager-, director-, and executive-level HR professionals who are charged with improving HR's ability to contribute to organizational strategy and success. It is also appropriate for HR professionals seeking the strategic skills required for advancement to management and leadership positions.
