Description

The subject of Human Resources I is a cross-cutting subject within the Degree that will train the student for the knowledge and application of the basic tools for the development of human resources.

It is a well-known fact that companies are imbued with an important component of interpersonal relationships, which is why it is essential to know in depth what value human capital has in the world of organizations.

It is important to know that the company is an integrating system with the society that surrounds it, where individuals with different needs must relate, identify with business policies and at the same time must be transformed into human groups cohesive by achieve certain goals for the common good. Not to mention that the company must adopt a commitment and a social responsibility with its particular policies such as respect for its environment.

We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.
