Project Management for Human Resources: 3 Day In-Person Seminar - Orlando, Florida - HRCI & SHRM Certified Event
COURSE DESCRIPTION HR Managers are asked to juggle a wide variety of assignments and add on special ones as needed. In many companies, the people, who formerly performed specialized tasks, are gone, along with their expertise. The work still needs to be done and HR Managers are called on to take on this work as a 'project.' The 'project' is added to an already full schedule, major decisions have been made elsewhere, and you may have no team to carry out the work. Most HR folks are not trained as project managers and may struggle with getting everything done effectively and efficiently. The basics of project management are universal and many of the tools are easy to use. Get the results your organization expects applying these fundamental approaches to tackle special assignments and integrate all your assignments into a project you manage productively and systematically. You are already good at getting different stakeholders to cooperate because of your excellent communication skills. Build on these and use more sophisticated tools to get project results. Continually improve your existing skills in project management, communication, understanding human nature, and working across organizational lines. As you lead more successful projects, you will have new challenges. Be ready to take a deeper dive into advanced project management standards and their application to your situation.
