Online Degrees in Canada :: Accredited Canadian Universities

The human resources (HR) function has evolved from a mainly administrative role to a far more strategic one that contributes to an organization’s business planning and long-term strategy. A management career in human resources demands integrity, confidentiality, and excellent interpersonal skills, but also requires knowledge of accounting, finance, and strategic management.
