Training and Development - HR Policy and Procedures
"The secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well."
-John D. Rockefeller
HR-related policies and procedures can sometimes be confusing. The department of Human Resource Services has a new saying… "Whatever forms or actions employees are submitting to our department, we should be training them on those forms and actions." This learning module and the corresponding workshops are focused on doing just that! HRS is committed to the communication and training of the most accurate and up-to-date information that affect employees, including those conducting HR-related duties within their department.
Who should participate in the HR Policy and Procedure Learning Module?
- Employees conducting HR-related functions as a part of their job responsibilities
- Managers and supervisors needing up-to-date information on policy and procedures that affect their employees
- Any employee with general interest is invited to participate in individual workshops as desired
What are the goals of the HR Policy and Procedure Learning Module?
- Provide participants with a strong HR foundation that pertains specifically to UNCG and state employment
- Provide the most up-to-date and accurate HR information to participants
- Establish or enhance ongoing professional relationships between the HRS staff and participants
