Managing Human Resources Webinar
You will gain tons of practical tools, techniques, strategies and guidelines you can use immediately to handle your role with greater confidence and success
Course Description/Agenda Get ready
for the most complete course on managing human resources
anywhere
As
difficult as your day-to-day "hot issues" seem—hysterical
employees, late paperwork, cost cutting, etc.—they pale in
comparison to your larger responsibilities as a human resources
professional.
You’re the
key talent management strategist for the organization. You are
responsible for keeping up with employment laws and pertinent
compliance mandates. Your boss relies on you as a key member of
the leadership team ... though you’re often forced to be a "bad
news" messenger, thanks to ever more complex laws and escalating
benefit costs. Plus, you’re responsible for making sure your
organization’s supervisors and managers understand organizational
policies and procedures ... as well as major laws and compliance
mandates ... and apply them consistently and correctly.
It’s a
big, big, big job ... and unfortunately, it’s one that often does
not earn you the respect and appreciation you deserve because no
one else comprehends just how big your job really is.
There’s
absolutely no better way to update your knowledge than by
attending Managing Human Resources.
Enroll today; you’ll gain tons of practical tools, techniques,
strategies and guidelines you can use immediately to handle your
role with greater confidence and success.
