This comprehensive, practical HR program is designed for HR professionals, recruiters, HR Business Partners, talent management specialists, managers, HR analysts, L&D professionals and aspiring HR professionals who want to develop job-ready and business-oriented HR capabilities.

A major strength of the program is its practical, project-based approach. Learners work on real-world HR assignments such as developing a 12-month manpower plan, designing a sourcing strategy, creating an employer-branding plan, building a 90-day onboarding journey, developing KPI scorecards and competency frameworks, conducting 360-degree feedback, drafting PIPs, completing performance reviews and handling employee grievances.
