Course Outline:
Introduction to the Human Resources Generalist Certificate Program
– This short introductory module will give you an overview of the
program, including what you must do in order to earn the Human
Resources Generalist Certificate; descriptions of the eight modules
in the course; and information about the free trial membership
offered by Employers Group as part of your learning experience.
Introduction to Human Resources and the Generalist Role – This
module provides an overview of the HR Generalist position. To
illustrate just some of what an HR Generalist may have to deal with
on a daily basis, the module includes four case studies that cover a
broad range of issues including discipline, recruiting, termination,
compensation and benefits, health and safety, training, record
keeping, harassment, and leaves of absence... and that's just the beginning!
Employment Laws and Human Resources – All Human Resource
practitioners and professionals must have a fundamental
understanding of Employment Law – how it works, the major laws, and
what is applicable to an individual workplace. This module will give
you an overview of the most important topics in labor law, many of
which are covered in greater detail in other modules in this program.
Federal Terminations and Layoffs – This module will discuss
various aspects of terminating employees. We will focus on using a
proactive approach rather than a more costly reactive approach that
usually requires the assistance of an attorney. The reactive
approach results in poor decisions and ill-advised HR practices. The
consequences are always costly and include claims, litigation and
damage to the company's reputation. Good HR practices are proactive.
This approach results in well-thought-out decisions that protect the
company and support its goals.
Federal Wage and Hour Law – Wage and Hour is a broad category of
laws and regulations which govern wages, hours and working
conditions for employees. This module covers many of the common
areas of confusion in these issues.
Federal Leaves of Absence – The practice of managing leaves has
become one of the more complex and time consuming in the average HR
practitioner's world. With numerous legal issues, along with the
choices available to employers, it is important that HR
professionals have a thorough understanding of this topic.
HR’s Role in Selecting Quality Talent – This module will examine
the pivotal role that HR plays in finding the right people for the
right position. The ability to identify the best possible people for
job opportunities is one of HR’s main responsibilities. Correctly
staffing positions with talented employees gives the company the
best chance of accomplishing whatever its goals are. Without the
right employees in the right positions, an employer will struggle to
be efficient and productive. HR professionals have much to offer in
these efforts. In this module, we will look closely at this concept,
often referred to as “talent acquisition”.
Compensation and Benefits Trends – Compensation and benefits
designs and strategies are an ever-changing part of the
employer-employee relationship. Employees will always look to their
compensation and benefits to help determine how their employer feels
about their contributions to the overall organization. Ideas,
trends, and best practices can change quickly in response to a
myriad of factors affecting the business. We will examine some of
these trends and explore numerous ideas and concepts that you may be
able to use to make sure your compensation and benefit packages are
the best and most effective that your organization can offer.
HR and Supervisory Communications – Lack of communication, or poor
quality communication, hinders an organization’s effectiveness. Your
value as an HR professional depends on the effectiveness of your
communication skills. Successful companies have high-frequency and
high-quality communication. This module will help HR professionals
develop the best possible communications between Human Resources and
other employees within the organization – including hourly
employees, supervisors, managers and executives.
