New Business Course: Human Resources Management

Human Resources, at its core, is a foundation that supports a business.  Employees are human resources and an organization’s most valuable asset.  To be successful a business must utilize the skills and the ingenuity of its employees.  For a business to be high-performing, it depends on the productivity of its employees. 

Human Resources Management is a field that establishes a system to manage not only the needs of the business but the needs of the employees.  Here is a short list of how Human Resources functions in business:

• Strategic Planning
• Legal and Ethical Business Management
• Job Analysis
• Benefits
• Training
• Recruitment and Selection of Employees
• Negotiations
• Motivation
• Analyzing Business Needs and Trends

To be effective leaders, managers should be trained in Human Resources Management.  Every manager at some point in their career will have to deal with some aspect or issue of Human Resources Management and should have some basic knowledge of the laws and procedures that govern their organization.

New Features of Excel 2013: Tools that Make Life Easier

When you first open Excel 2013, right away you see how much more visually appealing the program is.  Microsoft has also created new features that help save time and increase productivity.

In the Backstage View, you can choose a regular sheet or choose from the many template options.  If you have been working on a file, the program now has a “recent” section that shows all the files you have been working on so you can have quick and easy access.

When working within a document with a large amount of data, Flash Fill saves time, by recognizing patterns in your data, this new feature automatically fills in the information based on the pattern in the data.

Recommended Charts and Chart Tools can help you display your data dynamically.  You can easily edit the look and feel of the chart you choose with filters and pallets.  There is also a preview that shows what your data would look like in each chart.

 

Use OneDrive to save and share your files online and on any device.  You can even collaborate in real time on the same document.  There are features you can use to lock sections of the document, as well as, permissions and password protection features that help keep your document safe.

These are just a few of the useful productivity and time saving tools that you can learn in our new course Microsoft Excel 2013: Introduction.  With all the new features, you could play around with them and try to figure each out.  Or you could learn from an expert in Microsoft Excel.
