Human Resources Management

Minor in Human Resources Management

One of the fastest-growing areas in business is the recruitment, retention and development of an organization’s workforce. Leadership effectiveness is often measured by the ability to get the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats (“Good to Great” by Jim Collins). Evangel’s Human Resources Management minor provides entry-level human resource management professionals with a Christian worldview who can have significant influence in creating an effective workforce in all sizes and types of organizations.
