To be a successful business you must have a great Human Resources Management (HRM). Human resources are the most important resources in an organization and there is a need for human resource management to consider legal implications for every decision they make in regards to employee benefits. In organizations these days, they are faced with several challenges in maintaining a motivated workforce. To ensure that an organization retains the best employees, several measures are put in place. As a leader, manager and supervisor, I believe that I have improved my knowledge on how important Human Resources (HR) is in the business. I have recognized the impacts of external and internal environments within the company understanding and applying functions such as, Equal Employment Opportunity & HRM, Federal Contract Compliance & EEO, Employee Rights/Safety, Labor Relations Laws and Legal Environment/Total Rewards. I have a clearer understanding of the legalities when dealing with civilian personnel as for the laws and regulations that governs them. During this course, I believe that I could have performed to a higher standards, but as a single parent, Soldier, leader, manager/supervisor and student it takes a lot out of a person. Not using these things as an excuse, but it is difficult and believe it is the reason why I have not performed to my standards. The course may have caused for me just to receive a passing grade, but being who I am, and the high standards that I have set for myself, I did not perform to my expectations. Also, I enrolled in two classes hoping to get the degree over with quicker. If I had to retake this class I would definitely take it separate from any other classes. Topics that I have identified as not understand or were not successful in trying to implement and suggestions on how to improve the course material on those topics
