Human Resources Management
Introduction to Human Resources Management will help you understand how successful people management can lead to better working conditions and employee performance. Dr. Monica Belcourt, author of Canada’s best-selling textbook on the subject, leads a comprehensive introduction to the core topics of human resources management including human resources planning, recruitment, selection, performance appraisal, industrial relations, employment law, health and safety, and training and development.
Organizational Behaviour
Organizational behaviour is the study of how people behave both individually and within informal and formal groups. Every organization’s performance is ultimately dependent on the motivational levels of its human resources and the willingness and ability of people to work harmoniously and effectively towards the accomplishment of shared goals. In this course, you will explore and examine the interrelationships of individual personality and work, the characteristics of organizations and their environments and the challenges presented by the ever-changing combination of these factors.
Critical Thinking
The guiding assumption of this course is that not all information is created equal. Through ten and a half hours of illustrated audio lectures and interactive exercises, Professor McRobert explains Critical Thinking and gives students experience in its practice. Participants in this course will learn how to approach information critically and discriminate in a principled way between opinions.

Managing Episodic Disabilities: Accommodation Best Practices
Human resources practitioners and frontline managers play a pivotal role in maximizing the work potential of all employees, including those living with episodic disabilities, (lifelong conditions characterized by periods of good health and interrupted by periods of illness and disability such as arthritis, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis and some forms of mental illness and cancer).
