The course Foundations and Evolution of Human Resources Management offers a complete journey through the profound transformations of this essential area, preparing you to act strategically in today’s job market.
Throughout the program, you will understand the historical roots of HR, from its emergence focused on control and punishment during the Industrial Revolution to the humanist shift driven by the Hawthorne Experiment and the Human Relations School.

In addition to building a solid theoretical and historical foundation, the course explores essential practical tools, such as Dave Ulrich’s innovative model, which teaches professionals to act simultaneously as strategic partners, administrative experts, employee advocates, and change agents.
You will be immersed in the most urgent and complex trends of the 21st century, learning how to deal with the management of multiple generations, talent retention in competitive scenarios, and the digital transformation driven by HR Techs.
The content also deepens fundamental debates for the future of organizations, enabling students to implement Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, manage remote and hybrid work models, and promote mental health to prevent Burnout Syndrome.
To crown the learning experience, the course demystifies the use of People Analytics, proving that intuition must give way to decisions guided and supported by concrete data.
More than presenting concepts, this material teaches that people management requires balancing technique and empathy, preparing you to be a professional who acts as the true “heart and nervous system” of a company.
