Develop your skills at managing an organization's most important resource – its people. Identify some of the challenges employers face in managing human resources, particularly in the field of civil engineering. Learn how to overcome these challenges by developing effective strategic human resources plans, designing jobs which meet the needs of both employees and your organization and recruiting, selecting, managing and retaining top performers in both unionized and non-union settings. Analyze the impact of key pieces of employment legislation, including the Employment Standards Act, Occupational Health and Safety Act, and the Ontario Human Rights Code, on civil engineering organizations.
