HR Hacks for Leaders

This course is an elective learning requirement for completing the Values Based Leadership series.

“Life Hacks” are simple-to-implement solutions to common, everyday problems. Adopting this time-saving approach for human resource (HR) management can help leaders manage ever-changing working environments and shifting priorities. In this course, students will expand their professional toolkits with a variety of strategies for addressing common leadership problems related to HR management.

Within this course, students will:

• Learn how to implement a “life hack” approach to HR/leadership issues
  
• Explore a variety of strategies for common challenges

Topical resources (e.g., readings, videos) and notes will introduce relevant foundational concepts and helpful tips/strategies for your work. 

2.     Join (Wednesday, 12:00 – 12:30pm)

Live 30-minute webinars will provide the opportunity for students to hear directly from the instructor further exploring the topic.
