The HR Series: Finding It, Keeping It and Knowing The Rules
The most important asset in any business is the people behind it. Having the best employees can have a profound outcome on an organization's goals and objectives. There is a big difference between having an employee that is a "real go-getter" verses an employee that is failing to reach their full potential.
The three part series will be delivered by Marilyn Owston, CHRP, CMC, who is the owner and President of TrendLine Consulting Services in Thunder Bay. Her involvement as a manager in the service sector for sixteen years lends a practical dimension to both the workshop material and presentation. Marilyn has delivered hundreds of well-received workshops and seminars on a variety of human resources topics including recruitment and selection, performance management, team development, and human rights in employment.
The series will include:
When: October 6th, 13th, and 27th (note: skips a week). All sessions are from
11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Where: Innovation Centre Training Lab, 1294 Balmoral St. 2nd Floor, Thunder Bay
| Cost: | $65 for all 3 sessions |

Preferences relevant to different generations will also be revealed.
