Savvy HR Professionals Know the Learning Never Stops

In today’s dynamic workplace, educating the human resources professional about effective programs, practices and trends is critical to keeping ahead of the curve. Reacting to daily issues "in the moment" keeps you from focusing on your long-term goal of anticipating and identifying the future needs of your workforce and proactively setting out to manage them.

FRE*E Teleseminars for Fall, 2008

In response to the many ongoing requests I receive for additional education of developing HR professionals, I’m offering a series of FRE*E teleseminars this fall on the subjects featured below. Join me for all of them, and you’ll learn TONS of practical HR information and savvy advice based upon my 25 years of experience as a corporate HR professional. AND…you’ll have THE opportunity to share and hear first-hand what thoughts, feelings, and issues you and your peers in other companies are challenged with daily (and of course, the solutions)!

All calls are scheduled to be held between 11:00 am to 12:00 pm, PST (Pacific Standard Time). The format will be 30-40 minutes of presentation on the topic; then the call will be opened up for a participants’ Q & A for the balance of the call. Once you’ve enrolled in this series of calls, you’ll receive detailed call-in instructions and handouts in your inbox several days prior to each scheduled teleseminar.

And as a special bonus for all teleseminar participants, you’ll also receive a complimentary subscription (value $97.00) of my bi-monthly newsletter, “Let’s Talk HR,” chock full of practical HR tips and best management practices, guaranteed to make you look like a superstar to your management team and employees!

If you miss any of the calls, don’t worry! I’ll have the audio recording posted on my website for 72 hours following the day of the recording for your convenience. The bridge lines are limited, so don’t delay. Sign up today!
