HR Webinar Playlist
Our HR Webinar Playlist Includes:
Performance Management
Did you know two thirds of supervisors receive little to no training on how to handle the soft skills of management? Supervisors must exhibit true leadership, boost morale, and reduce employee turnover, all while positively impacting your organization’s bottom line — a tall order for even the most experienced professional. This two-part series will address necessary skills with a focus on the employee – manager relationship. We’ll discuss the behaviors that effective supervisors should demonstrate and lay the groundwork for effective leadership and management skills.
Core HR Systems for Proper Onboarding
When was the last time you conducted an audit of your personnel files? If it’s been a while (or if you have never done an audit) you may be putting the organization at risk. The best way to ensure your company remains in compliance and avoids liability is to conduct regular reviews of your personnel files and your filing practices.
Join us as we learn the good, the bad, and the ugly of personnel file maintenance, including whether documents are being put in the correct file (i.e. personnel or medical) and whether you are retaining files longer than is required (or disposing of them too soon). Next, we will cover how to properly onboard new hires to set them up for success. Last, we will discuss the importance that the employee handbook plays in the new hire process and why it should be a living, breathing document which is critical to HR and management functions.
How to Recruit and Retain Your Organization's Most Valuable Asset
Hire and retain the most qualified employees for your organization.
From recruiting and interviewing to developing and retaining, expert Jamie Hasty, Sesco Management Consultants, covers everything you need to know about hiring great employees.
All You Need To Navigate The Wage and Hour Law
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the federal wage and hour continues to cause big headaches for employers given the intricacies of exemptions, pay plans and state permissible pay practices. Non-compliance exposes companies to individual and other representative actions. Wage and hour laws continue to multiply, with new regulations, court decisions, and myriad changes to existing laws impacting employer compliance obligations.
Conducting an Internal Investigation
Are you prepared to conduct a proper investigation? Will it comply with all Federal, State, and local laws and all your policies? Will that investigation be objective and respect all party’s rights? Will it be presented in a professional manner?
If done properly, an internal investigation can help get to the bottom of things. If done wrong, it all too often makes things worse. The challenge of complying with all applicable standards/regulations is to educate and update all who are responsible for conducting investigations within the organization. Otherwise, they may not have the tools or skill sets to be aware of all those obligations and responsibilities which in turn can lead to unintentional violations of law and challenges to the integrity and credibility of the investigation and its results/conclusions.
In short, this webinar is designed to provide you and your organization with a fundamental understanding of what’s required to conduct an effective and professional investigation while minimizing risk (financial, legal, damage to internal and external reputation, etc.).
Total Rewards for Ultimate Retention
Modern total rewards are key to attracting, engaging, and retaining the best talent in today’s work environment. Additionally, employee recognition is a driving force behind the total rewards strategies that people actually want versus what management thinks they want from your organization. As you navigate the turbulent waters of the workforce future, employee recognition is your key to success.
In this program, you’ll learn about how to create a culture of appreciation—one that spreads throughout the entire employee journey from start to finish. It is this approach that will be your key to not just surviving a unique recruitment landscape but thriving on a long-term basis.
