Human Resources Management: Fostering an Inclusive and Equitable Culture Certificate

A large corporate group

Enhance your HR Management skills in 8 weeks

In this post-Covid era, companies are facing huge challenges like the ‘great resignation' and 'quiet quitting'. Highly qualified and skilled HR professionals are essential for companies to maneuver these challenges and foster a healthy culture in their organizations. Successfully navigating complex HR laws and current regulations regarding compensation, employment law, recruitment, benefits, risk management and more requires significant expertise.

Our certificate program is designed for those who are new to the human resources profession or are looking for an effective way to boost HR management skills and knowledge. We utilize SHRM Essentials of Human Resource Management materials -- developed by leading HR experts and legal counsel – to cover a multitude of HR topics in a streamlined, hybrid format. In addition to instructor-led class sessions, students will also complete several self-paced modules related to performance management, SMART goals, and supporting a remote workforce.

Emory Continuing Education is an HRCI (Human Resources Certification Institute) Approved Provider.
