Welcome to the FOX SCHOOL HRM Department!
The Human Resource Management Department recognizes that a company's people are its ultimate product and strategic advantage. Consequently, we acknowledge the necessity of creating synergies between the human and business side of the enterprise. Our goal is to develop ethical leaders and managers who understand that commitment to employee well-being and talent development enhances an organization’s productivity, reputation, and sustainable profits. Courses offer theoretical perspectives and practical skills in traditional areas of HR (recruitment/selection & succession planning, training & talent development, compensation & benefits, and employee relations & public policy/compliance) emphasizing both local and global considerations. Students also take courses designed to enhance their interpersonal leadership skills including communication, negotiation, conflict management, and team building. Read more...

Recent Labor Department statistics show that women in Pennsylvania earn only 79 percent of what their male counterparts do. Why do women continue to earn less than men? Dr. Crystal Harold of Temple University's Fox School of Business, specializing in human resources, says one of the main reasons is that women are not as strong when it comes to salary negotiation. "Women tend to come in with the attitude that this is a win-win process whereas men are much more competitive," she said. "They aren't afraid to put it all on the table and threaten to walk away. Women have to get a little bit more of that competitive edge.” (Link)
WRTI | Sept. 16, 2009
Professor Kathleen Davis of Human Resources Management outlined the main points of the federal Employee Free Choice Act, which was introduced in March by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, and responded to claims that the bill would take away jobs and force millions of workers to unionize. Professor Davis said the act does not require anyone to join a union. She also addressed the allegation that the act would force employers to accept contracts imposed by arbitrators.
