SMART STAGE: HR Department of One: Getting It Right the First Time
It's hard enough to be a HR Dept of One - but how do you know you've got it right? Many of the professionals that are handling HR are also tasked with other responsibilities and haven't had a great deal of formal HR training. This presentation will look at resources available to get information quickly and how to assess your own HR function to be sure you are starting off with necessary and compliant practices. Don't miss this opportunity to hear about ideas to speed up the entire HR process from a 30-year practitioner in the field. We will connect HR DOO participants so that you have resources after the session to rely on with for ongoing situations! Sharing favorite resources and hearing from other department of one participants will ensure this program gives you lots of ideas to take back to your office!
