Topics include, but are not limited to, equal employment, privacy, employee selection and testing, wage/hour regulations, safety and health, worker’s compensation, unemployment insurance, intellectual property, and other emerging issues in employment law.

Prerequisite: 52:533:365.

A study of the relationships between management and employees of the organization in both unionized and nonunion environments, and in both the private and public sectors. Nonunion employee relations requires leadership for a positive work climate, including the development of programs, policies, and practices in support of employees and the work they do (e.g., safety and wellness) and general conflict resolution. Labor relations with unionized employees, offers more emphasis on administering due process and collective bargaining, developing strategies for contract negotiations and implementation of negotiated agreements, and alternative dispute resolution.

Compensation techniques used to achieve internal and external equity are covered, focusing on job evaluations and wage and salary surveys. Incentive pay schemes, pay based on seniority, and knowledge-based pay plans are also discussed. The role of employee benefits as compensation is given significant attention, including both legally mandated and discretionary benefits. Issues connected with executive pay and international differences in compensation are covered.

Prerequisite: 52:533:365.

Prerequisite: 52:533:365.

Organizational performance depends on a variety of factors, many of which involve the human element, or human capital.  This course begins with an overview of talent management, the process by which to recruit, develop, and retain the best talent for meeting organizational objectives. We then examine root issues of performance problems and recommended actions. Approximately the last half of the course is focused on the design, implementation, and assessment of employee training and development efforts, as they fit into that broader context of talent management and performance management. Additional related topics include employee resistance to change and ethical concerns in both content and process of training.

First-semester transfer students will be evaluated based on their GPA earned at Rutgers. Students who fail to meet these admission criteria may still be allowed to apply for (and possibly enroll in) the BLDP seminar, but they will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
