Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

2,920 HR tools in one programme: 1,878 ready-to-use files, templates, checklists, search strings and scripts, 141 services and apps shown on screen, plus 901 models and methods.

Open a lecture, take the tool, use it in this week's hiring, review, budget or strategy discussion.

Why HR careers stall at specialist level

Most HR people know one part of the function well: recruiting, or learning, or payroll. The step to HR manager or director needs all of it at once: strategy, budget, analytics, hiring, development, rewards, and the confidence to argue with a CEO. A degree gives the theory in two years. The job asks for a working document by Friday.

What changes after this course

You cover the whole function and have a tool for each part of it. A strategy template and a budget you can defend. Analytics and business cases with the calculation done. Job profiles, search strings and interview guides. Onboarding, one-on-ones, coaching, reviews. Headcount and workforce calculations. Scripts for the hard conversations. You can take on a broader role because the instruments for it are already on your desk.

What is inside: 2,920 tools, counted file by file

You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool inside is listed there by name.

  • 444 downloadable resources: the lecture presentations plus 40 standalone working files (planners, workbooks, calculators, answer banks and document templates)
  • 1,838 ready-to-use tools inside the presentations:

  • 361 step-by-step procedures and workflows: HR analytics problem-solving, workforce planning, 360-degree feedback, salary structure development
  • 321 question lists and conversation scripts: organizational diagnosis interview, competency-based interview, exit interview, Gallup Q12
  • 261 checklists: HR system setup, hiring manager intake, employee onboarding, manager performance review preparation
  • 151 scorecards, rubrics and scoring matrices: benefits selection business case matrix, competency rating scale, succession risk matrix, merit increase matrix
  • 122 Boolean and X-Ray search strings: job site search, LinkedIn X-ray search, GitHub candidate search, personal email search
  • 55 ready AI prompts: job requisition form, candidate outreach creation and refinement, employer brand strategy, first-week onboarding agenda
  • 51 formulas and metric sets: recruitment metrics, onboarding effectiveness metrics, employee turnover and stability metrics, median salary calculation
  • 36 other working tools: decision trees, worksheets and team exercises

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 have developed HR strategy by bringing business leaders into the process. At Wargaming, our HR business partners interviewed leaders about their expectations and problems before we worked on the strategy at an offsite. We then presented it to those leaders, gathered feedback, and asked them to rank the priorities. Their involvement helped us work more effectively with the strategy. This experience informs the strategic HR tools in this course.

How to use the course

Start with the six core sections: they are the programme itself, from strategy to HR leadership. Then treat the rest as a reference library. Section and lecture titles show how many tools are inside, and each lecture description lists them by name, so you can find the right tool without watching everything in order.

What is included

  • 406 lectures across 38 sections, 218 hours
  • 444 downloadable resources: lecture presentations and working files
  • 2,920 tools across the lessons, ready to copy into your own work
  • Lifetime access to all materials
  • Active instructor support in the Q&A section
  • A Udemy Certificate of Completion

Where to start

Pick the part of HR you know least: budget, analytics, rewards or strategy. Open its lecture in the first section and fill in the template for your own company. HR people who can work across the whole function are the ones promoted to lead it, and every year spent in one corner of HR makes the step harder. Enrol now and start your first lesson today.

Who this course is for:

  • HR managers and HR business partners who want one programme covering the whole HR function with working tools
  • HR generalists and specialists preparing for an HR manager or HR director role
  • HR directors who want tested formats for strategy, budget, analytics and work with the executive team
  • Recruiters and talent specialists moving into broader HR roles
  • Managers and founders who run HR themselves and need a complete toolkit
  • HR professionals preparing to study for CIPD, PHRi or SHRM-CP who want a practical base first
