Workshop Participant Quotes 2009

Most NGO managers deal with human resources issues on a regular basis. However, many often do not receive training on how to effectively support the most important asset that an organization has—its people.

This workshop will focus on key areas of human resources: recruitment, interviewing, new employee orientation, compensation, salary benchmarking, performance management, and employment legal issues.

Participants will learn the answers to questions such as:

·         What should be included in job descriptions and recruitment ads? What are best practices in new employee orientation?

·         How do we determine position salaries and how do we remain competitive?

·         What employment-related legal issues should I be aware of?

·         What are the key concepts of performance management?

WHAT TOPICS WILL BE COVERED?

Through case studies, lecture, participatory exercises, key HR topics will be presented on: recruiting, interviewing, orientation, compensation, legal issues, goal setting, rewards and motivation, and performance management.
