STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT - THE ROLE OF HR In today’s intensely competitive and changing global marketplace, sustaining a competitive advantage imposes a hefty premium on having a highly committed and competent workforce. As business conditions shift, HR practitioners are becoming strategic partners in business operations, playing proactive roles, rather than serving as passive administrators. Strategic HR means accepting a role as a partner in the formulation of the company’s strategies, as well as in the implementation of those defined strategies through HR activities. This session will include value-added tools that can be immediately put to use by HR practitioners. .6 CEU Approved for 6 recertification credits.

DEMONSTRATING HR VALUE THROUGH THE USE OF EFFECTIVE HR METRICS™ In today’s global market human talent constitutes the biggest asset of any organization.

Comprehensive human resource measurement strategies enable management to collect consistent information about the employee population, which aids decision-making and ensures that management and development activities align with overall business strategy. With a sound HR metrics program, HR management can make business decisions that are based on cold facts rather than a “gut feeling,” and use the exact figures to back up business decisions and support requests for human talent. This class will cover the fundamentals of HR metrics and assist you with the development of such measurements. .6 CEU. Approved for 6 recertification credits.

It is recommended you call 895-3394 a day prior to your class to confirm that the class will meet as scheduled. • We recognize you may occasionally need to cancel a registration. If you wish to receive a refund, we must receive a written statement (e-mail, fax, or postal mail) listing the course name and number, and giving the reason for cancellation. The direct link for the cancellation page is: http://edoutreach. unlv.edu/continuingeducation/registration/refund_request.html, or it may be faxed to 895-4195. Postal mail refund requests should be sent to Division of Educational Outreach, 4505 S. Maryland Parkway, Box 451019, Las Vegas, NV 89154-1019. • Refunds of registration fees paid by credit card will be processed as a credit to the credit card account within seven business days of the cancellation notification. Refunds of registration fees paid by check will require a minimum of six weeks to be processed, to allow sufficient time for the check issued by the student to clear, prior to a refund check being issued. • Unless a separate policy is stated for a specific class or classes, the following applies to all cancellations and refunds: Prior to the first day of class 100 percent of the fee paid will be refunded minus a $10 administrative fee. If class has begun or concluded, refunds are decided on a case-by-case basis by calling 895-3394. All refunds must be done within 14 days of the last class. All of the provisions of the Class Cancellation and Refund Policy are in accordance with relevant Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) rules and regulations adopted and approved by the NSHE Board of Regents. Payment of Fees • Payment must be received at the time of registration. Students are responsible for the payment of all fees associated with each course in which they enroll within the time period specified by UNLV. • Students who fail to pay fees when due, will be required to pay late fees, and any additional penalties established by UNLV. Failure to pay applicable fees when due will result in referral to an outside collection agency. • The Division of Educational Outreach cooperates with the Clark County District Attorney’s office to prevent bad check losses. A $25 service fee will be assessed for any check that is returned from the bank for any reason. Post-dated or two party checks will not be accepted. Any returned check shall be made good within ten days after notification to the student, or the student will not be permitted to attend any classes. Professional Credit Upon registering for a professional course (real estate or management) for the purpose of obtaining professional credit hours, please include your Nevada license number. Continuing Education Units Some of the courses in this catalog qualify for CEUs (Continuing Education Units). CEUs are a way of measuring and officially recognizing the time and effort you have put into your education for your job or profession. One CEU is equal to 10 hours of instruction. CEUs do not constitute academic credit. They are maintained by The Office of the Registrar and provide you with a transcript upon request. So, what do you do with a CEU? As you update your credentials, are in line for a transfer, promotion or evaluation of your current position, or want to make a vocational change or explore a new career, the CEUs demonstrate the time, energy and interest you have shown in broadening your horizons.

GO BACK TO GET AHEAD Anuhea Hawkins Former Bartender, Current Lead Sommelier “I heard about the International Sommelier Guild through my former general manager at N9NE Steakhouse. He had successfully gone through the program and gave it glowing recommendations. I searched it out here in Las Vegas and found that it was offered through Continuing Education at the UNLV Division of Educational Outreach. I started my first and second level certificate courses in September of 2007, continued on to the Sommelier Diploma Program in September of 2008, and concluded with the Train the Educator course in the fall of 2009. The classes were great because you get in-depth, in-class learning. Both of my instructors, Wayne Gotts and Barbara Phillipe, were a wealth of information. Two very different teaching styles made for learning from all angles. When I first started this journey I was a bartender at N9NE Steakhouse. I have now become the lead Sommelier at Nove Italiano and basically run my own wine program. I’m also an instructor with the International Sommelier Guild and hope to continue growing in my career and expanding my knowledge.”
