The constant shifts and unforeseen changes in the business world are bringing a series of novel challenges to the workplace. In the face of these challenges, organizations rely on their most valuable asset; people.

While the right talent provides organizations with a significant competitive edge, Human Resources (HR) professionals need to acquire the tools, strategies, and practices to build a winning team, drive business results, and achieve strategic objectives.

The Human Capital Professional certificate takes a deep dive into the DNA of organizations and the role of HR in attracting, selecting, training, assessing, and rewarding employees.

Through a highly interactive learning experience, this program will pinpoint the key challenges across various HR functions. It will allow participants to adopt new perspectives in tackling those challenges through case studies and best practices.

  • Understand the impact of current trends on talent acquisition practices.

A. Core Courses

Organizational Behavior

Organizational behavior is the study of people’s behavior within an organization and the way it affects the organization’s performance. Participants will be able to analyze the impact of employee behavior, decisions, perceptions, and emotional responses on the overall organization’s effectiveness. They will be able to examine how individuals and teams in organizations relate to each other and to their counterparts in other organizations, as well as encompass how organizations interact with their external environments, particularly in the context of employee behavior and decisions.

Talent Acquisition

Talent acquisition has significantly evolved, especially over the last five years. It has become a critical part of attracting, recruiting, and onboarding talent, in addition to managing large talent pools in very competitive talent markets. In this program, participants will learn about the different parts of the talent acquisition process, with the aim of hiring the best talent for the organization. Additionally, they will gain an understanding of how the impact on the business can be maximized while leveraging different modern talent acquisition tools and practices.

Learning and Development

This interactive module will provide participants with foundational, yet updated, knowledge of learning and development concepts and practices that every Learning and Development (L&D) professional should be on top of. This module aims to build an understanding of the learning and development role and value within today’s dynamic organizational and business context, as well as how the L&D function is strategically connected to other people and organizational tasks and activities.

Total Rewards

The word compensation commonly refers to an employee’s payment in return for his/her services.

In fact, staff compensation can include many other direct and indirect financial, as well as non-financial, rewards. Employee compensation is not only considered a vital deciding factor for whether or not an applicant will accept to join the organization, but it also has a major impact on staff performance, satisfaction, and willingness to continue their employment.

This course will provide participants with the basic knowledge and skills required to distinguish between the various compensation and benefits programs, as well as enable them to design and implement a competitive program that is not only aligned with their organizational needs and priorities but also attracts, retains and motivates talents.
