NEW The Evolving Role of the HR Professional
Today, in order to be effective and add the most value to an organization, the role of Human Resources requires a combination of strategic and
functional perspectives. HR professionals who possess expert knowledge and skill of the HR function must also be respected leaders and exhibit specific behaviors while performing their HR activities. In this session you will learn why your competency in areas such as leadership, ethics, communication, change management and consultation are vital for your exceptional strategic and functional performance. It is no longer just about what you can do, rather, it is about how you do it.

NEW Meeting the Legal Requirements
Within the field of HR, perhaps no topic continues to receive more attention than equal employment opportunity (EEO). EEO, Discrimination
and Harassment are not only legal topics, but they also become emotional issues in the workplace because they concern “people.” The basic goal of this session is for HR professionals to understand all compliance requirements (policy, training,
documentation, etc.) and trends surrounding EEO and other relevant employment laws such as FMLA, FLSA, etc. We will also focus on the importance of providing a higher level of employment law education for managers and supervisors. Our managers and supervisors must possess sound
knowledge of EEO as well as other employment laws in order to make fair and effective employment decisions that affect our “people.”

NEW Organizational Management for HR Professionals
HR professionals should know the “business” of their organization thoroughly. HR has a broad role and must understand the other departments of their organization in order to establish goals and
provide quality goods and services. In this session, the HR professional will acquire an essential understanding of the economic and financial concepts they should master to be a key member of the business management team who develops strategy for their organization. We will also address how HR professionals must develop the ability to focus on their external effectiveness by understanding the needs of the organization’s customers and the global and cultural environments that impact their business and workforce.

NEW Workforce Planning and Employment
HR professionals are the masters of “people” science and must be able to apply this mastery in performing the functional duties of Human
Resources. In this session HR professionals will enhance their ability to be the expert in the areas of designing jobs and then placing people in them. We will cover all major aspects or workforce planning and employment activities. This includes generating information about job tasks that need to be done; the knowledge and skill
people must possess in order to do those tasks, followed by the recruitment and selection of the right people. Additionally, this session will address employee engagement. Hiring the right individual for your organization will create a happier, more productive and engaged workforce; and, in turn organizations experience increased growth and overall success.
