I am so pleased to lead the Essentials of Human Resources program for SHRM-Atlanta! This course can help anyone who is new, or transitioning, to Human Resources obtain a great base-level of HR knowledge AND position you for future success in HR-related roles. It will also benefit anyone who has the privilege of leading and managing others. Leading and managing are not the same thing; learn more about the difference when you take Essentials of Human Resources!
In this course, we cover key topic areas including Talent Acquisition, Compensation & Benefits, Learning & Development, Performance Management best practices, and, of course, U.S. Employment Law.
Who can benefit from this course:
- Those who are just starting HR careers,
- HR Specialists seeking more diverse HR exposure,
- Anyone considering HR as a career field, and
- Any manager with the responsibility for hiring, paying, training, and evaluating employees.
I have worked diligently with the team at SHRM-Atlanta to record this program for you to watch at your convenience. The accompanying Resource and Activity Books will take you step-by-step through everything we cover. And, as part of the program, you received two live, virtual sessions with the instructor (me!) to ask any follow-up questions that you have. Assisting others gain HR knowledge is so important to me and I look forward to working with you as you progress through Essentials of Human Resources!
If you see me at a SHRM-Atlanta event, please say “hello,” and let me know how this program benefits your growth as an HR professional or people manager!
