The next HR Management series starts in a couple weeks and it will be the first in-person HR series we’ve offered in a few years! This comprehensive, hands-on series of HR topic-related classes is designed to address multiple needs:

• refresh knowledge for experienced individuals already in the HR profession
• provide a comprehensive overview of HR policies and practices for newer HR professionals
• build/refresh knowledge for those in other positions that have been assigned HR responsibilities
• provide helpful context to supervisors/managers who are looking to expand their knowledge of HR practices.

In class exercises and discussion helps reinforce the learnings while also allowing attendees to build their network of HR peers. Those interested should visit the main registration page to begin the registration process. The system allows you to choose which of the 8 half-day modules you wish to register for, or there is an ‘all modules’ option. In order to receive the lower member pricing, you need to be in your company's roster in our database. Once you are, you just enter your email address and the system will find you.
