Course in People Management in Sport Online

Introduction

This course is divided into several lessons that will provide the knowledge and skills required to properly manage the people and talent in a sports entity.
Talent management is something that has become a priority in most organizations.
The professionalization of sports entities means that the role of human resources has become essential in order to be able to correctly manage change. It is so important to efficiently manage talent, identify the best profiles for the correct job/person/organization fit, develop that talent within the organization and ensure that they are the best. This is one of the most complicated tasks for human resources and, of course, equally as important as retaining this talent by enhancing our employer branding. All of these points are key in order for the entity to reach its strategic objectives, both at a sports and management level. Human Resources is organization, it’s development, it’s people, it’s the soul of the company.

Objectives

In this course, the goal is for students to learn how to develop a human resources management and talent development model, offering different tools that enable them to implement people management processes in any sports entity.
People are the ones who make organizations what they are, so knowing how to manage them and ensuring they feel involved and committed to the project will make the difference between one entity and another.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Understand and apply concepts and definitions of the human resources function.
• Be able to develop tools for the correct performance of the role in a sports entity.

Program

The program has 3 credits (ECTS), distributed over 5 weeks. The course is composed of various teaching units (UD) and each one consists of a continuous assessment test, in which you interactively apply theory, complemented with solving exercises and practical cases.

On the virtual campus, students will have access to all essential resources for their progress, including notes, podcasts, videos, articles, and case studies, all under the precise guidance of a tutor who will provide directions on activities and deadlines.

Moreover, the courses feature several live webinars led by the professor or invited experts.
