Human Resources Leadership Development Program

HRLDP (Human Resources Leadership Development Program) was developed by Johnson & Johnson as a master’s-level graduate in human resources or related disciplines.

This program requires two and a half years of commitment and rotates the individual through several different programs that provides education and experience.

Johnson & Johnson’s human resource strategy was implemented in 1997. This program includes many key aspects of corporate culture, leadership and global strategies that integrate into one single global human resource program. This program has allowed Johnson & Johnson to diversify their current employees, raise the standards for future employees, and redefine the standards of leadership within Johnson & Johnson.

Rotational assignments offer a challenging and dynamic on-the-job experience which immerses the participants in a variety of work experiences and allows the individual to grow while working side-by-side with senior human resource leaders to implement critical strategies that will impact the future of the organization.

Training involves in-depth classroom and online instruction which helps develop the skills and knowledge needed for induction into the family of Johnson & Johnson. Participants are allowed to study a wide range of topics from Johnson & Johnson’s Global Leadership Profile and are later supplemented by coaching and mentoring.

Johnson & Johnson has a global leadership program that defines and promotes the critical behaviors that characterize and establish leadership at all levels of their organization. It serves as a means of self-assessment as well as a tool to support effective discussion between employees and their managers. This guides all employees to promote a consistent approach to selecting and developing leaders within their more than 200 companies worldwide. Leadership Profile has at its core the basis of development planning which provides a pipeline of exceptional talent within their organization, and key business roles across the world.

Johnson & Johnson has been corroborating with UCLA and developed a program that is exclusive for directors and leaders of community based health care organizations. UCLA Health Care Executive Program is limited to organizations that are currently funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

This program is intensive training for two weeks, and provides the tools, techniques and approaches to confront mounting challenges in community health care. The program is based on interviews with HRSA grantees, experts in health care and relevant literature on management education and development for health care professionals. The format emphasizes leadership and management skills as well as institutional and technical knowledge. It draws on UCLA’s 13-years of experience in conducting similar programs for directors of Head Start. This program fits into a special niche of Johnson & Johnson’s training of their management employees.

The principle mission of the UCLA training program is to provide participants
