Human resources (HR) management in social organisations: plan staffing needs, select fairly, onboard, develop and retain staff – with official data and the legal position as of 2026.
Online self-study course for managers and future managers in social organisations (heads of facility, department and team, managing directors of small provider organisations), professionals with administrative and steering tasks, and students on master's and social management programmes – 8 modules, about 8 hours, at your own pace, with a confirmation of participation once all modules have been completed. Sources in APA 7, as of October 2026.
The modules:
- Staff as a management task: terms, fields of action, bottlenecks
- Planning staffing needs: skilled-staff requirement, staffing ratios, capacity
- Becoming visible: employer profile and ways of recruiting staff
- Selecting fairly: structured interviews within the framework of the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG)
- Arriving and growing: onboarding, conversations, staff development
- Health, work–life balance, diversity: retaining staff
- Leading and developing teams: styles, stages and difficult conversations
- Leaving, knowledge retention and a critical review of HR work
Self-study without supervision, assignments or evaluation of learning progress by instructors; the voluntary self-reflection is for your own orientation only. Your confirmation of participation becomes available once you have marked all modules as done yourself.
