This comprehensive 32-hour program provides an intensive overview of the key elements of the contemporary HR function. Participants are introduced to the body of general HR knowledge they need to perform in the modern practitioner role, and are offered practical, usable ideas for handling HR matters. Practical application through exercises includes the ability to spot issues and determine “what questions to ask” rather than trying to memorize all the answers in the ever-changing, complicated HR field.

• Manage the employment process from requisition to recruiting, screening, interviewing, testing, and background checks to making the offer.
• Evaluate how best to welcome and retain new employees, including orientation, and onboarding basics.
• Assure compliance with employment recordkeeping and posting requirements.
• Explore compensation basics, and main components of Wage and Hour regulations  to avoid typical violations.
• Improve HR’s communication effectiveness by strategizing what, to whom, and how best to transmit various types of information.
