Overview

Change. Learning. Performance—Developing Global Leaders

With a strong emphasis on data and value, in the Human Resource Leadership program at University of Houston students evaluate assumptions, clarify problems or opportunities, and design and execute interventions (e.g.- learning strategy, onboarding, process improvement, e-learning, performance evaluations, etc.). Students evaluate the impact and value of these strategies through the lenses of change, learning, and performance.

Here are five challenges organizations face today:

Embedding learning in the flow of work
Addressing learning through the performance lens
Identifying the value and impact of talent-related strategies
Building capability for competitiveness and sustainability
Executing strategies as "change"

The HRD degree addresses these concerns and more, by partnering with companies to create situated learning experiences that unearth the application of theories and concepts. In doing this, students elaborate concepts, transfer learning, gain work experiences and build networks. We strive to retain a timely and meaningful link between academic learning and the work that HRD professionals do in organizations.
