Overview
Being the only HR person in an organization is often a lonely job, and many people take it on alongside other roles with little training. This 60-minute webinar introduces new HR managers to six skills they need to succeed as an HR department of one.
You'll look at knowledge of laws and regulations, staying organized, adapting and multitasking, discretion and ethics, communication and business acumen, and why each one matters in a solo HR role.
It isn't a complete guide to everything HR covers, which takes years to learn, but it gives you a practical foundation for the role.
Why attend: Without the right skills, a solo HR person can make costly errors or break employment laws without realizing it, exposing the company to fines and lawsuits. This session suits office managers, HR representatives, HR managers and administrators, business owners and business administrators who carry HR responsibility, often alongside another job.
