In this course we discuss everything that a line manager needs to know about the Human Resource (HR) function and its role within organizations.
The course begins with a broad overview of HR issues, the responsibilities of HR specialists and the role of the line manager in working with the HR function. This leads to a conversation about how the function can assist business aims and goals, and the employee life-cycle. Finally, we work through key line manager HR activities including recruitment and selection; performance management and appraisals and their role in developing employee engagement and commitment.
This course is suitable for anyone considering or moving into a role in HR, those with responsibility for providing advice on HR as part of their role or those who may be taking on more HR responsibilities.

This was a good overview of the need to consider digital assets in estate planning.
Interesting material and easy to understand. Great slides and information!
I like to read the slide decks in the pdf format. The pdfs for this course were not sufficient to learn the content.
A very interesting read with a good summary of how fraud was committed.
Great information about useful tools. Didn't know there were so many plugins available
This course was a great refresher on the time value of money concepts. The instructor provides alot of examples of calculating the old-fashioned way. I do wish he had gone over the use of Excel in solving some of these problems.
Garrett Wasny does the best presentations!!! The visual quality of his slides is top notch, and he gives SO much information. Very interesting. Will seek his courses out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I have taken 2 of Mr. Ihde's courses. They were both very informative and helpful. Please bring more of his courses to Illumeo.
This course is important for employees on all levels and even in our personal lives. I really like the points made on the importance of Listening well.
This text-based CPA ethics is very informative and easy to navigate.
Great overview and explanation of the importance of ESG. Discussion on the corporate concerns related to ESG was informative.
This is a tough course. Lots of good information though and lots of examples.
This course was great. It talked about the various types of culture, employee behaviors, how to recognize when culture needs a change, and how to implement it. Overall, I would recommend this course!
Clear, well paced and enjoyable. It was a good review of key financial concepts with great story telling.
Pitched at the right level for being able to implement OD in the workplace across different levels.
Great content! Lots of takeaways that can be applied immediately.
I felt this course had logical content. A little too conversational for my tastes, but I recognize that many learn well in this format
Very well done explaining job costs. I have been in manufacturing for 30+ years and highly recommend this to anyone just entering this sector.
Really enjoy courses by ArLyne Diamond. Great content and and engaging presenter.
I enjoyed this presentation, it provided a new insight on correcting small (and large) safety issues that are found in most businesses. You also receive guidance on ergonomics, proper lifting, etc., and who can't use that?
There were a few sections that seemed to end with the presenter not finishing the sentence.
Very thoughtful and articulate presentation of usable insights. The summary of a very difficult subject was well developed and the handouts are very useful.
Great information and well presented. Personally gained a gret amount of information for future use in reporting.
Excellent course
I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot of new Excel tips! The excel worksheets were good to do along with the video. The quiz and final exam were not really related to the course material, but the questions weren't that difficult if you know how Excel works. I really enjoyed this course, and I have already implemented these tips into my daily work.
