Why HR directors stay a service unit
An HR director is expected to be a partner of the business. In practice the day goes to vacancies, pay questions and conflicts, and the meeting with the CEO is about why a position is still open. To change that you need two things at once: HR processes that run without you, and arguments the business accepts.
What changes after this course
You build the function step by step. You audit HR and ask employees the right questions. You write a strategy tied to business goals. You set up recruiting, onboarding, pay, grading, OKRs and manager training with ready formats. And you bring numbers to the leadership table: HR metrics, a budget and a plan for change.
What is inside: 463 tools, counted file by file

Who is teaching
I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.
I grew into this role the hard way. At the STB television channel I became a manager of a team of about six in 2010, with little management experience, and my employees sometimes complained about me. My own manager, the HR director, suggested management training; I took it and started using coaching with my team. When I later became HR director there myself, I met the business leaders, asked what they expected from my department and kept a document of what I did for each of them; it grew from 5 leaders to about 40. The tools in this course come from that path.
