This course is taught in the second semester. Students are expected to have completed all the courses from the first semester.

By the end of the course, students should be able to: - Explain the key standards that define effective Human Resource (HR) strategies; - Identify and describe the main external and internal factors influencing the design of HR strategies; - Articulate the importance of HR implementation and outline the key stakeholders involved in implementation activities; - Discuss the challenges linked to HR implementation and present practical approaches HR managers can adopt to enhance implementation effectiveness; - Highlight the importance of measuring the impact of HRM on organizational performance and recommend key metrics to assess such impact.

This course is designed to provide students with a deep understanding of the most critical activities related to human resource management (HRM) and auditing. It also aims to introduce the main problems and challenges that typically arise in organizations when implementing these activities. Finally, it will present and analyze possible approaches to effectively address these challenges. In particular, the course is structured around the following three thematic pillars: - The effective design of HR strategies - The effective implementation of those strategies - The measurement of the impact of HR activities on organizational success

The course will be based on case studies, a reading list, and presentations. Discussing and sharing ideas and experiences will be pivotal for the development of the course. Students will be encouraged to share their insights and thoughts in class discussions. As with other areas of HRM, most issues, cases and problems will not have "one right answer", although some answers will be more valid than others. Thus, being right or wrong should not be a major concern for students when participating in class discussions. All viewpoints will be of interest. Everyone is expected to adopt a critical approach to their peers¿ contributions, and any disagreement should be explained. Each student is expected to be: - Prepared for each class session, whereby assigned readings, exercises and case studies are to be completed as required - A committed and loyal contributor to the learning team - Respectful and polite in class discussions and activities - Present at all classes - Punctual In this course, students should not use artificial intelligence tools to carry out the work or exercises proposed by the faculty. In the event that the use of AI by the student gives rise to academic fraud by falsifying the results of an exam or work required to accredit academic performance, the Regulation of the University Carlos III of Madrid of partial development of the Law 3/2022, of February 24th, of University Coexistence, will be applied.
