About This Course

As one course among many in the American Management Association’s curriculum, Fundamentals of Human Resources Management, Fourth Edition, is designed to give managers the tools they need to understand and apply the critical components of the nine fundamental HR topics that are the cornerstone of any organization’s human resources function: equal employment opportunity, the employment process, testing, compensation, performance management, benefits administration, employee relations, training and development, and human resources management systems. From its early days as the “personnel” department, the human resources function has grown into an influential, collaborative member of the core management team. By providing practical, hands-on information and real-world scenarios addressing typical everyday issues that drive HR practitioners, this course gives managers the skills they need to maximize the role of HR in their organizations. It also provides a timely context for demonstrating how the HR function can be a significant contributor to any organization in meeting many of today’s workplace challenges.
