Critical Knowledge that Every HR Employee Needs

Do you have someone on your team who is new to Human Resources? Maybe you wear multiple hats, or cover a variety of duties in the office and got “stuck” performing HR responsibilities. EANE wants to help make sense of all this “HR stuff!” Besides leveraging the support of our HR Hotline, we have training programs that are designed to make sense of the legal nuances of HR. Help your organization avoid costly (and time consuming) errors by ensuring that the people on your HR team gain this critical knowledge.

Has Your Leadership Evolved from Enforcement to Encouragement?

In todays’ world we can no longer ‘boss’ people around; HR professionals should be empathetic, respectful, polite, and professional at all times. That being said, someone still needs to be the boss and keep the ship sailing in the proper direction. The problem lies in what is known as the ‘Poof promotion program’. Someone gets promoted or leaves, and a company needs a manager so they look around at the employees in the department. The best worker, or the one who is consistent and comes to work all the time is the one promoted with a parting volley of “Good luck, call me if you have any questions!”
