This workshop explores some of the primary disciplines in the human resources function. While obtaining exposure to a wide variety of topics - and an equally wide slate of experts who will be facilitating discussion of those topics - you will collaborate with seasoned professionals, and with each other, as you gain insight, acquire knowledge, and develop skills.

Key Topics

Understanding the evolving role of the HR professional as it relates to:

  • Staffing
  • Basics of learning and development
  • Key elements of performance management
  • Components and importance of compensation
  • Benefits: more than completing forms
  • Ethical considerations and concerns for HR professionals
  • Diversity: a critical dimension

Special Features

HR panel: Interact on several levels with a group of seasoned HR professionals. First, panelists will share relevant insights about their backgrounds, experience, and valuable lessons learned pertaining to the human resources profession. Small groups of participants will then collaborate on and develop solutions to challenging case studies and present those recommendations to other workshop participants and to the panel.

The panelists will lead a discussion and share additional insights about each case study presentation, linking their own experiences to each case study. Finally, you will be invited to ask open-ended questions to the panel. Questions can relate back to issues that emerged at other points in the workshop or to any other topic of interest.

Who Will Benefit

HR practitioners with less than two years of experience; individuals who currently specialize in one HR discipline and who are interested in learning about other disciplines; individuals who are interested in exploring HR as a possible profession.
