How To Deal With Managers Who Give HR A Hard Time

Learn How To Show Your Managers That HR Is Important!

Unfortunately, many managers don't fully understand the rationale behind them having to:

• Manage employees within the boundaries of employment laws
• Have good documentation to minimize legal risk
• Properly manage - and document - employee performance
• Handle conflicts with employees
• Manage employee relations' issues - and not send employees to HR like the Principal's office!

There are many factors that contribute to why managers don't "get it", and in this training session we'll discuss some of the root causes, as well as ways to proactively address the issue.
