Human Resources Management       BTBM_HRM

Reaching far beyond hiring, paying, and training employees, we will explore an integrated set of HRM processes, programs, and systems within an organization that are focused on the effective deployment and development of employees. The employees include contract workers, external project members, or other similar individuals working for the company under a new workplace paradigm that is more fluid and flexible than even 20 years ago. Human resources are a broad range of contributors to business operations: they need to be managed like any other resources like cash, materials, machines, and so on. Legal aspects of Human Resources Management are becoming increasingly complex and are of critical importance to all levels of management, including project management.
