Course Description
Today, many managers enter the world of human resources simply because they are exceptional managers. They have climbed the rank and file of the corporate ladder, succeeding at each rung, to the point where they are now managing a team, which may include "kids" fresh out of college or professionals who have been in the workforce for some time, sometimes even longer than the manager himself. Having the ability to create synergy on his team, to drive productivity and provide opportunities for employee growth while developing policies and procedures that apply to all are just a few of the trademarks that make a great manager.
Course Motivation

And, while it's the role of the HR department to hire the best people to help the business succeed, HR managers must also realize that today's worker is also particular about the environment his future employer can provide. Topics like benefits, including health, dental, disability, life, and 401K and retirement plans, are considered "standard" for most people looking for the perfect job. Things like flex time, paid time off and other perks also set the stage for creating an atmosphere where employees can perform at their best.
