Getting Started

Welcome to the Human Resource Management workshop. As companies modify priorities and operations, human resources functions can move from a dedicated HR role, to that of the manager. Whether the majority of those important functions stays within HR at your organization, or is your responsibility as a manager, it is important that managers understand how much of their role is really about their people, as well as aspects of legislation, policy, and procedures that involve human resourcing issues.

Our focus quote for this module:

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are .” –  John Quincy Adams
