Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/MacEwan University/Management of Human Resources (Fall 2020)

Students explore the role of human resources management in contemporary organizations and identify effective practices to hire, retain and develop employees. Students identify the interrelationships between the functional areas of human resources management including planning, recruitment, selection, training and development, performance management, total compensation, workplace health and safety, and employee and labour relations. Students examine key legislation relevant to human resources management and apply their knowledge to current and emerging workplace challenges.

For their Wikipedia assignment, students will be picking an existing article written on a HR topic of interest that we cover in our class and will be editing it.
