Professional Development Workshops HR 101

TIME IN A BOTTLE

April 3 • 8 a.m. - Noon

May 8 • 8 a.m. - Noon

Trainer: Mike Cieri It’s not uncommon for employees to be promoted into supervisor roles with no formal training.

Because of this, serious legal problems can arise when supervisors ask inappropriate questions, fail to properly document poor performance, or inadvertently create a hostile work environment.

This class will provide basic information and strategies to prevent liability in the workplace.

He Said, She Said WHAT?!

Preventing Harassment in the Workplace April 24 • 8 a.m. - Noon

Trainer: Sherry O’Boyle Harassment is illegal, and has been a hot-button topic in our nation recently. But what is harassment?

How do you stop it? And what are the consequences if you don’t? Learn the importance of harassment policies and the law, how to identify harassment, and how to deal with it when it happens.

Trainer: Sherry O’Boyle How many times have you heard someone say, “I just don’t have the time?” With conflicting priorities, ineffective meetings, and multiple tasks calling for your attention daily, just how do you manage your time? Learn to recognize the true cost of time wasted, identify and eliminate wasted time, and improve time management skills.

YOU’RE A SUPERVISOR. NOW WHAT? May 29 • 8 a.m. - Noon Trainer: Sherry O’Boyle

Being promoted and making the transition from friend to supervisor is one of the most difficult transitions people will make in their career. Join us to learn ways to address holding your friends accountable, dealing with the perception of favoritism, gaining respect of the workforce, and more.

Cost is $15.

Leadership 101 In today’s workplace, being a leader is more than telling people what to do, it’s about showing people how to do it.

Cost is $15.
