Human Resource Management / Industrial Relations (Optional Co-op) (Program Major)

Human resource professionals provide qualified people to achieve organizational business plans and strategies. They consider labour laws, regulations and ethical business practices while aiming to maximize employee motivation, commitment and productivity.

Human resource management will learn how to help companies recruit and select qualified people, effectively train and develop a workforce, generate effective total compensation systems, manage employee performance and employee relations, foster and maintain an engaged workforce and promote talented people through the organization. When these activities are done well, organizations are suitably prepared to accomplish their strategic directives, and are staffed with the right people in the right positions at the right time – a motivated and committed workforce who work together to build the organization’s success.
