Human Resource Management
Managing people at work, from strategic workforce planning through recruitment and selection, training, performance evaluation, compensation, and labor relations: Saylor Academy's course covers the full arc, building on the basics taught in its own Principles of Management. Eight units move from equal-employment law and affirmative action through job analysis, the 360-degree performance review, and the tension between employer efficiency and employee voice in unionized workplaces. The course runs about 24 hours, closes with a certificate final exam requiring a 70 percent passing grade, and awards a free Course Completion Certificate on passing, with retakes allowed after a 7-day wait. Every unit is free to read as a guest, and enrollment is free.
