UNA’s Credential in Human Resources (HR) gives you the tools—and expert advice in how to use them—to implement best practices in HR at your nonprofit. The course demonstrates how your HR policies should adapt to new laws in response to COVID-19 as well as a framework for staying current as everything in the evolving HR landscape. 

Course Description and Learning Objectives

People are your most important asset. To attract and retain quality employees and volunteers, your nonprofit must follow effective and fair leadership practices. Human Resources is one of nine courses in the UNA Credential Program designed to provide you with the resources you need to make an even greater impact.

• Become current on the impact of COVID-19 on employment practices, legal issues, and moving forward with the next normal.
• Gain a comprehensive understanding of key employment and discrimination laws relevant to an organization’s size, and how to implement practices to follow those laws.
• Learn how to create, review, and revise an organization’s personnel handbooks, policies, and practices to ensure compliance with applicable laws.
