About the Course
People-related decisions today sit at the center of organizational performance, risk, and long-term sustainability. Managers and HR professionals are expected to navigate evolving workforce expectations, regulatory complexity, digital transformation, and increasing demand for accountability in people practices. At the same time, organizations are moving toward data-informed and technology-enabled HR systems, raising the bar for capability and judgment.
The Advanced HRM & Strategic Analytics certification program responds to this shift by equipping participants with a structured understanding of managerial effectiveness, strategic HR systems, and evidence-based decision making. The program integrates talent strategy, performance and reward systems, employee engagement, change leadership, and workforce analytics, along with exposure to digital HR tools, AI applications, and sustainability-oriented practices. Learning is application-driven, combining case discussions, projects, simulations, industry interaction, and campus immersion to support practical, real-world application.
