This course is intended to introduce students to the employee lifecycle (attraction, recruitment, onboarding, development, retention and separation) from the perspective of a human resources practitioner to develop an understanding of how the law (federal and state), organizational policies and procedures, and best practices impact the employee experience. More specifically, looking through the lens of how managers can create a workplace where employees can thrive, this course will cover issues that lead up to hiring and promotion, including recruitment, interviewing, background checks, references, and employment testing. We will then focus on issues that can arise when a person is on the job, such discrimination/harassment, reasonable accommodation of disability, compensation, benefits, and performance management. Finally, we will deal with issues related to the separation from employment.
