Managing Employment Issues in a Global Context
Course ID: ILRSM502Develop a global perspective for dealing with international employment systems and understanding workplace diversity. Respond effectively to international labor and human rights challenges.
Description
Today's organizations operate in global markets where employment issues, regulations, and labor practices vary dramatically among countries and regions of the world. In order for officers and managers in multinational corporations to manage multiple, diverse branches of their business, they must understand workplace diversities and develop strong cross-cultural methods for handling them.
In this course, participants develop a global perspective of the variability and constantly changing labor issues in the regions where they operate. Participants explore international employment systems and examine several multinational case studies that will assist them in developing practical approaches for managing global employment issues and responding to international labor and human rights challenges.
