It is a good match for me because it has opened my eyes to areas where the current hr personnel has failed.
whole course was matching my career, in every step seems to be designated to me.
The course covered quite a lot of HRM basics, which is good enough for someone who has no idea at all about the same.
I am amazed to learn how HRM covers such a wide range of responsibilities. This short few minutes I learned a lot about HRM.
