Business Smarts for HR Professionals
Repeated from Tuesday at 2:15 p.m.
This will give you a fundamental grasp and refresher of financial statements that makes them breathtakingly simple to read.

- Gain insight into how your business generates and consumes value.
- See how to capture the value of your organization's HR expenditures to reflect their contribution to profits.
