HR 670 - HR Consulting

In this course, you will acquire and practice the skills needed to build partnerships with management and operate as an HR consultant within an organization. You will first plan and prepare for the consultative relationship with a pre-selected nonprofit organization. Then, you will work with teammates on a pre-determined consulting project (such as the development of an employee handbook, a mentoring program, a compensation analysis, etc.) In this process, you will learn about what causes client resistance and how to deal effectively with it and will be required to integrate your technical and theoretical HR knowledge into the consultative process. An overview of the major differences between consulting in nonprofit and for-profit organization will be presented.
