The Center for Human Resource Strategy is an initiative of the
Department of Human Resource Management at SMLR. The center researches
and develops practices in global strategic human resource management.
It works in partnership with many professional organizations and with
senior human resource managers at major multinational corporations. An
advisory board of human resource executives provides advice and support
for center programs.
The Center for Women and Work, which
operates within SMLR, addresses the needs of working women. It studies
public policies that affect women, fosters and disseminates research on
issues that concern working women, and sponsors educational programs
for women, policy makers and corporate leaders, and community groups.
The Center for Workplace Transformation has achieved a
national reputation for work on major organizational change,
particularly in union settings. In general, the center promotes moves
toward more participative and team-based systems.
