About This Course: This one-day seminar is designed for small- to medium-sized organizations that have HR departments with only one or two people.
With a department that small, HR has to wear many hats, making it quite challenging to balance your day-to-day responsibilities such as hiring, coaching, and handling phone calls, all while setting up and managing compensation, benefits, and compliance with state and local laws, then running payroll – all on top of handling employee questions, problems, and performance issues.
You can see where frustration and potential errors could occur.
