Course Description:
People management is more than just a function of Human Resources. In fact, relying solely on HR can sometimes create a workplace that feels impersonal or disconnected. This workshop series is built for professionals who want to transform their approach to leadership—making the workplace more human, more engaging, and more productive. Through the 6-part series, you’ll identify areas to improve the organization’s culture and employee engagement, then dive into concepts of recruitment, selection, compensation and benefits, recognition and retention, and performance management.
