Learners enrolled: 402

Human Resource is among the most important sources of competitive advantage of the organizations. Competitive advantage can be built and realized depending on the degree towhich the workforce is developed. Effective development of Human Resource is not an outcome of simply conducting standalone training programs. Rather, it requires a strategic approach and development of systems around it. This course, distinct from Training and Development (T&D), gives more strategic perspective to the HRD system designing.
