WEBINAR ON DEMAND
Duration: 1 hour

Human resources, a complex and diverse career field, is seeing higher than average growth and requires trained professionals with a high level of integrity, confidentiality, and interpersonal skills in addition to a solid understanding of business management, finance, and marketing. But even for those in positions not directly related to HR, it’s vital to understand the underpinnings of human resource management, including how to foster strong relationships with employees and productive partnerships with leadership, knowledge about HR policies, and the importance of training and development to keep your workforce on top of best practices, policies, and industry trends.

Columbia Southern University supports human resources professionals and others endeavoring to learn and grow in their field, with online human resources degree programs at the bachelor’s and master’s levels that are aligned with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Curriculum Guidebook. These programs offer courses in collective bargaining, compensation, benefits, employment law, international human resource management, staffing, and more. In this webinar, industry expert and CSU professor, Dr. Susan Cathcart, will demonstrate the value of higher education for the industry’s future and how:

• Trends such as remote work, AI adoption, and DEI initiatives are shaping the employment landscape.
• Companies are using technology to make data-driven decisions about employees and employee practices to stay competitive in the market.
• More flexible and employee-centric HR practices are changing the industry and helping to retain talent.
• Understanding human resource policies is not only vital for HR professionals, but also those in adjacent fields.
