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:

Where: Innovation Centre Training Lab, 1294 Balmoral St. 2nd Floor, Thunder Bay

Finding It: Key Concepts in Structured Recruitment & Selection   – October 6, 2010

Structured practices have been proven to increase accuracy and objectivity in evaluating candidates and in selecting the right person for the right job.  They also bring equity and consistency, two invaluable aspects, to the recruitment and selection process.  This session introduces participants to structured techniques that can be adopted and implemented in their organization from both a practical and policy perspective.


Keeping It: Key Concepts in Motivating & Retaining Your Team   – October 13, 2010

This highly interactive session invites participants to share their experiences and embark in discussion as we attempt to answer the following questions: what do employees want, what motivates them, why is employee engagement important, what are the costs associated with ‘disengagement’, what is the role of the front-line manager, and ultimately, what can be done to retain great employees?  Preferences relevant to different generations will also be revealed.


Knowing The Rules: Key Concepts in Meeting Your HR Obligations  – October 27, 2010

A broad overview of a number of legislative requirements with which employers must now comply with.  Participants will be introduced to the implications of the Human Rights Code with respect to discrimination, harassment, and accommodation requirements.  Practical advice and tools associated with the successful implementation of Ontario’s Occupational Health & Safety Act’s recent amendment dealing with bullying and violence will also be addressed.
