Also included in this course are the challenges and opportunities presented by remote work, virtual teams, and issues related to employee well-being and work-life balance, particularly in the post-pandemic era. Lastly, students will look into unconventional practices, dilemmas, and contingency factors that they may encounter in human capital management. Through a blend of seminars, case studies, interactive activities, in- and after-class discussions, assignments, and self-learning, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed for effective human capital management in today’s dynamic and complex environments.
