In today’s workplace, the Human Resources department does more than manage the paperwork for hiring and paying the organization’s personnel. In addition to those basic functions, the HR department is also expected to manage performance, facilitate employee advancement and ensure a productive work environment. Using policies, evaluation, compensation and training, HR professionals are tasked with hiring the right people, improving productivity and dealing with problems when they arise.

This comprehensive class will cover what you need to know to effectively manage a tribal HR department. Our experienced instructor will walk you through the hiring and compensation process, discuss the importance of organizational charts and job descriptions and provide tools to help you identify the training needs in your organization. This class will help you to raise productivity and employee satisfaction at your organization — register now!
