Session 6: Human Resource Essentials
What I wish I knew about HR when I first became a leader/manager!
This session explores several areas that new managers without HR training need to know. When and how to document conversations with staff, pitfalls to avoid in applying discipline, what it means (and why it’s important) to consistently apply policy, some lessons from experienced managers on where they made their “early mistakes”. How do you navigate the fact that your organization says it values transparency and accountability with the reality of HR confidentiality?
