The success of organizations depends on the human beings that enable organizations
to achieve their objectives. An organization's human resources are its
most critical assets. The management of human resources is a specialization
in management that encompasses several functions including the recruitment,
selection and maintenance of a qualified, motivated, smoothly functioning
and productive workforce. The effective performance of these functions
requires understanding and skills in employment law, training, planning,
job analysis, performance appraisal, compensation and labor relations.
This course will provide an overview of key employment laws and the major
human resource functions as well as practice and application through skill
development and case analysis.

Do you have enough stuff? Do you have enough time? Americans are working
more than citizens of any other industrialized country. Overwork affects
our environment-the more fast food and products we consume, the greater
the ecological impact. Overwork affects our ability to be informed citizens
in a participatory democracy; to be healthy, with less fatigue that leads
to accidents, injuries, and illnesses; and to spend time with families
and friends. In this course, students will examine how they spend time
and money, and make a blueprint that allows them to strike the desired
balance between "work and stuff." We'll examine the broader
governmental and corporate entities that influence the way we spend time
and money. Through participating in Take Back Your Time Day and other
efforts, we will engage in ways to focus decision-makers on these vital
issues. Among other texts, we will use Take Back Your Time, edited
by noted documentary maker John de Graaf, who is the national spokesman
for Take Back Your Time Day.
