Human Resource and Leadership Certificate

While attending Ohio University, I obtained a Human Resource and Leadership certificate for taking three classes. In my leadership class, I learned different leadership strategies. In my Human Resource class I learned about various state and federal workplace laws. I also learned how to recruit employees by learning what their motivations were. Once you learn them you can tailor employment packages with various benefits. Lastly, I completed a contract negotiations class as well. I learned how to leverage power in order to get the most in a contract negotiation.
