HR Foundations
HR Foundations (previously Building Your Human Resource Leadership Foundations) provides every supervisor with the necessary tools to build a successful supervisory foundation. Participants will enhance their skills in attracting and hiring new staff, developing and coaching staff, managing performance and behavior and reducing legal and employee relations problems.
FORMAT
Five modules make up the Foundations series. We recommend that you take the modules in order but this isn’t necessary if the timing is not convenient.
Module 2 – Targeted Selection is for hiring managers only. If you are not a hiring manager, you can still receive recognition for completion of this series if you complete the remaining modules.
