Challenges to human resources management (Online / Remote)
1Summary
Arab British Fellowship Training Academy offers a course on the challenges facing human resources management. Human resources are today among the most valuable assets used by modern companies, and despite the various challenges facing HR management, it remains both the means and the end of every production and service process, since people are the foundation and driving force behind them, and employees are often described as the beating heart of the company.
This is why today's economists refer to human resources as human capital, human assets, or intellectual capital. Yet alongside this progress in HR management, a number of developments have emerged that now represent real challenges for the field, and this course examines them in depth.
