Today’s most effective human resources managers are strategic business partners. This advanced certificate equips you to work inside and throughout the business to drive change and growth. And you’ll become fluent in the language of your business leaders.

As an HR manager, can you articulate your company’s business goals and strategy? Do you know how best to align your human resource tools and expertise — from recruitment, to talent management, to engagement — to support this strategy? This MBA level advanced HR management program provides a broad, organizational perspective, laying the foundation for you to identify, develop, and measure HR initiatives critical to your firm’s bottom-line success.

The role of today’s HR manager demands broad responsibilities that include organizational leadership and strategic thinking. As the profession evolves, HR departments are being called upon to make bigger-picture decisions and to execute well-defined HR strategies that align with larger organizational strategies.

Strengthening the employer-employee relationship is the strategic role of a human resources manager. However, there’s more than meets the eye to doing this. Human resources managers formulate workforce strategy and determine the functional processes necessary to meet organizational goals. Their job requires expertise as an HR generalist, which means they must be familiar with every human resources discipline.
