Additional Information

Economic, social, technological, and political upheaval are transforming the workplace. HR professionals play a crucial role in shaping how these transformations play out and must be equipped to balance a variety of competing interests. In this course, we will debate whether those who manage people must choose between running a profitable business and treating their employees well. We will identify the most pressing HR issues inside organizations, ranging from burnout and workplace flexibility to earnings inequality and career mobility. Drawing on insights from case studies, cutting-edge research, and guest speakers, we will survey how certain organizations are able to provide good jobs while remaining competitive. Students will come away with a menu of practices and policies that benefit both business and employee outcomes.
