Course Description
Overview
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.
