Many of today’s organizations operate in global markets where employment issues, regulations, and labor practices can vary dramatically from one country to another. HR professionals need to have a global perspective and a solid grasp of international employment issues so that the organization runs smoothly and productively. In this course, you will learn how to design and implement an integrated management system that increases efficiency, productivity, and profitability through the introduction of high-performance work practices (HPWP). You also need a forward-thinking approach to workplace diversity and understand current human rights challenges. In this course, you’ll analyze case studies and see how arbitration, mediation, and facilitation techniques used in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) can mitigate productivity loss, resolve serious workplace conflict and head off costly litigation. Learn how to implement high-performance HR practices in both unionized and non-unionized settings.
