Classes in this program will be highly interactive; for this reason it makes sense to ensure that the
classes themselves are held in workshop-like 3 hour “blocks.” The exception to that is MGT 266,
which will be delivered as a 6 hour class once a week (9:00am-12:00pm and 1:00pm – 4:00pm).

Course descriptions
Industrial Relations
MGT 264 3 credits $256.50
Industrial Relations is generally used to refer to the relationship between a union (an organization run
by and for the workers) and an employer (an organization or organizations that employ the workers in
the union). The goal of the course is to gain an understanding of the varied interactions between
unions and employers. Theoretical discussion will be balanced with applied activities and
examinations of past, current and possible future practices.
Textbook: Industrial Relations in Canada (available through CNC’s Bookstore).
Offered once:
Sep 11 to Dec 18/15 Fri 9:00-12:00
Training and Development
HRPR 303 3 credits $515
In today’s economy, employee skills and talents are often the source of “competitive advantage” for
organizations. Human Resource managers are often tasked with developing in-service training for
front line employees and professional development programs for future leaders and managers. This
course teaches students to balance the need for training and development opportunities with the
organization’s demand for accountability and return on investment. Students will learn about the
increasing use of technology, blended approaches to training delivery, explicit and hidden costs of
training as well as how to evaluate the effectiveness of the training.
Textbook: Managing Performance Through Training and Development (available through CNC’s
Bookstore).
Offered once:
Sep 15 to Dec 15/15 Tue 6:00-9:00
Employment Law, Employment Standards and Human Rights
HRPR 305 3 credits $515
This course gives students an overview of employment contracts and employment relationships as
they are dealt with both by common law and statute, including human rights, occupational health and
safety, and industrial standards. The primary focus of this course is the “non-unionized” workplace,
which compliments MGT 264 Industrial Relations, which focuses on the “unionized” workplace.

Offered once:
Sep 10 to Dec 17/15 Thu 5:30-8:30
Management Skills for Supervisors
MGT 266 3 credits $1499
Managers must have strong interpersonal skills, problem solving skills, and self-management in order
to interview job applicants, coach employees, investigate accidents or complaints, conduct
performance evaluations, and demonstrate effective leadership. This course is designed specifically
to help students:
Improve interpersonal communication by understanding the role of non-verbal communication
and culture in how messages are sent and received, as well as providing students with skills
and strategies to communicate assertively and turn conflict into collaboration.
Understand their own problem-solving and decision-making styles, and the impact these styles
may have on others.
Learn group problem solving and decision making strategies.
Learn how to motivate others by managing their own behaviour and communication style.
Understand the cumulative impact of stress, and learn how to manage their reactions under
tension, pressure, and stress.
Textbook: Course materials are provided.
Offered once:
Jan 4 to Apr 18/16 Mon 9:00-4:00
Performance Management
HRPR 304 3 credits $515
This course investigates the circumstances of the “underperforming employee” and moves students
from the common misconception of the “lazy”, “unmotivated”, or “incompetent” employee to an
accurate diagnosis and mitigation of the real performance issue. We will examine performance
management on an organizational basis, identifying organizational strategies such as regular
performance evaluations, job design and rewards as tools that can prevent potential problems from
arising. We will also identify processes and strategies to use once a performance problem has been
identified, including positive discipline and progressive discipline.

Offered once:
Jan 5 to Apr 19/16 Tue 5:00-8:00
Occupational Health and Safety
HRPR 302 3 credits $515
Occupational Health and Safety programs used to be delegated to technical experts, but in British
Columbia there is a growing awareness that responsibility (and liability) for an effective OHS program
starts at the front line and extends through all the layers of supervision and management in an
organization. This course is intended to give the student a basic understanding of the elements that
combine to create an effective Occupational Health and Safety program (OHS).
Textbook: Management of Occupational Health and Safety (available through CNC’s Bookstore).
Offered once:
Jan 6 to Apr 20/16 Wed 6:00-9:00
Strategic Human Resource Planning
HRPR 300 3 credits $515
This course introduces students to strategy formulation and implementation within a Human
Resource (HR) context. Students will learn to identify trends and issues, as well as developing and
understanding of the concepts of HR Strategy, program development and implementation. HR
Managers have a critical strategic role in organizations, and HR strategies must be aligned with
business objectives and performance indicators in order to maximize the effectiveness of the
organization.
Textbook: Strategic Human Resource Planning (available through CNC’s Bookstore).
Offered once:
Jan 7 to Apr 21/16 Thu 6:00-9:00
Compensation and Benefits
HRPR 301 3 credits $515
This course introduces students to the complex field of compensation and benefits. There are as
many different compensation schemes as there are types of occupations, and there is no “one size
fits all” approach to compensation. Compensation packages must be linked to the organization’s
goals and strategies in order to maximize the effectiveness of the organization. In this course,
students will learn how to design an appropriate compensation system by identifying the different
ingredients available to HR managers, their benefits and constraining factors. We will examine

performance pay plans, compensation values, and the technical processes required to implement the
compensation package.

Offered once:
May to Aug 2016 TBD
Recruitment and Selection
HRPR 307 3 credits $515
Successful organizations know that the first rule of success is to hire the right people. As Canada
moves into a skilled labour shortage, understanding effective recruitment practices is critical to
identifying a qualified pool of candidates. Once the candidates are identified, they must be assessed
on a number of different levels, including the skills and talents they bring to the organization and their
fit with the team. This course will provide students with a comprehensive study of current recruitment
and selection practices in Canada. It is recommended for small business owners, frontline managers
and human resource professionals.

Offered once:
May to Aug 2016 TBD
Professional Practice in Human Resource Management
HRPR 306 3 credits $515
HR Managers must develop strategies that complement the overall business strategy; they manage
budgets, develop, implement and measure programs and projects, procure contracted service
providers, and are a collaborative member of the management team. This course prepares students
to step into an HR Management role in Canada by giving an overview of the business environment,
protocols, and tools used by managers in Canadian organizations.
