Human Resource Strategies for Developing Your Organization’s Most Valuable Resource

Note: This is a self-paced online course.

Training Overview

This course introduces strategic human resource management. In a high-stakes environment, like public health, how leaders develop their teams makes all the difference in long-term success. Positive relationships between leaders, emerging leaders, and team members can be transformational. The result is a team competent, confident, and optimistic about their potential and contribution to the vision and goals of an organization. Thus, leaders who employ strategic human resource management contribute to this transformation. In this module, you will learn to reflect on and recharge your leadership development skills for the mutual benefit of your team(s) and the organization.

The course contains three modules: the content module, a resources module, and an evaluation. After finishing all three modules, learners will earn a certificate of completion. When the certificate is available, learners will see a Certificate button on their dashboard.

The entire training is expected to take 1 hour to complete. Participants will need a broadband internet connection (Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox are preferred browsers) and computer speakers. For technical support, please contact emoryphtc@emory.edu.
