Content

Content:

The HR profession is about people, work, and organizations. Work is often organized in teams. This means that an HR professional must not only have knowledge of individual psychology and business administration, but also of team dynamics.
In this course, you will delve into theories about teams. When do we call a group a team? What distinguishes successful teams from mediocre ones? What is the effect of diversity within a team? How do power, status, and leadership play a role? And, useful to know as an advisor: which levers can you pull when things aren't going well?
We will use this knowledge to analyze real-world situations. We do this through case studies, but also based on your own experiences working in groups and teams. By the end of this course, you will have developed the skills and knowledge needed to analyze and solve issues related to teamwork.
