Recently tasks that were originally thought to fall under the responsibility of the human resources department have become a part of many managers" job descriptions. The sharing and diffusion of these tasks throughout the organization has had an impact particularly on those that are not equipped with the skills or knowledge to deal with these issues.

This course will provide your participants those skills and assist them with certain Human Resource situations.
