Human resource management is the field of management that deals with people, the most valuable and hardest-to-copy resource of any organisation. Human Resources Essentials is a video series that covers this field in twenty-two episodes, in the order of a one-semester course. For anyone who wants an introduction to human resources, the series brings together the core topics as a whole, from planning to recruitment, from training to performance appraisal, from career and pay management to employment relations and occupational health and safety.<\/p>\n
Each episode explains its topic with the warmth of a teacher in the classroom. Concepts are defined, made concrete with examples from everyday life, and every episode closes with a short sentence that stays in mind. This way you can follow the topic even while watching on the road, in the kitchen or with subtitles in another language.<\/p>\n
Technology can be bought and funding can be found, but a team of qualified, well-matched and motivated employees cannot be easily imitated. That is why human resource management is seen as a field that directly affects an organisation's competitive strength. The way employees are viewed has also changed over time. This journey, from the ideas of workforce and personnel to human resources, and from there to strategic resource, intellectual capital and talent management, is covered in detail in the first episodes of the series.<\/p>\n
The importance of the field is not limited to organisations. A fair pay system, a transparent performance appraisal and a safe workplace shape the peace of mind employees have at work. Those curious about the international framework for working life can explore the publications of the International Labour Organization (ILO)<\/a> .<\/p>\n Let us think of an example from everyday life. If two bakeries on the same street, working with the same ingredients, differ in that only one has a queue every morning, the difference usually comes from the people behind the counter and how they are managed. Human resource management studies exactly how this difference is created, protected and grown.<\/p>\n The series consists of four modules and twenty-two episodes. The first module covers the foundations and human resource planning, and the second covers recruitment, selection, orientation and training. The third module covers performance appraisal, career management, job evaluation and pay management, while the fourth covers discipline, trade unions and collective bargaining, employment relations in T\u00fcrkiye, and occupational health and safety.<\/p>\n Each episode has a main video and a short summary video that wraps up the topic in a few scenes. The main videos are also published on our YouTube channel, and you can watch the full series on our YouTube channel<\/a> as well. This course page is the best way to watch the episodes in order.<\/p>\n This human resources course serves as a course review for students taking a human resources class in departments such as business administration, human resource management, labour economics and industrial relations, and public administration. It is also designed for those who lead a team or will soon do so, people starting their working life, and anyone who wants to better understand how working life functions, from the payslip to the performance review. No prior knowledge is required; every concept is explained where it first appears.<\/p>\nStructure of the Human Resource Management Series<\/h2>\n
