Professional Skills for Human Resources Management

Professional Skills for Human Resources Management

Why Attend

HR professionals in today's organizations are more than technical or subject matter experts. They are counselors, communicators, presenters, and problem solvers. This course is a logical continuation of the development made in our 'Interpersonal Skills for HR Professionals' course.  Although the course complements the competencies developed in the first course, it will be of significant value even if taken on its own.
