HR Works' Supervisor School offers bottom-line value for employers seeking higher retention, lower liability

Five-part series includes Preventing Harassment session

When times are tough, what business isn’t focused on the bottom line? Does your organization struggle to cost-effectively retain key employees, boost productivity and reduce liability while dealing with a soft economy?

If so, take a tip from the savviest organizations: A company’s resources are maximized when supervisors are trained in the most essential management skills.

To fill that need, HR Works Inc. is expanding its popular ”Supervisor School: Human Resource Fundamentals for Managers and Supervisors” programs for fall. The five-part series – this time including the critical Preventing Harassment module – will be held on five Tuesdays in September and October.

For a mere half-day of training, supervisors who hire, evaluate and/or manage employees can enhance their skill and knowledge bases in ways that directly boost their companies’ bottom lines. Participants will gain immediate knowledge of and practical applications for these vital functions, and will improve their understanding of federal, state and local laws governing employment.

HR Works’ expanded sessions reflect the nature of employment law. “The amount of information that supervisors must master in order to effectively manage employees and comply with all employment laws has increased,” says Kate Leunig, director of training and development and a senior consultant at HR Works. “To accommodate that growing body of knowledge, we’re lengthening each of our sessions by 30 minutes in order to give attendees even more value.”

The HR Works sessions are on Tuesdays as follows:

• "Interviewing Skills for Supervisors," Sept. 9, 2003.
• "Communicating with Your Employees," Sept. 16, 2003.
• "Document, Document, Document," Sept. 23, 2003.
• "Termination: Facing the Dreaded Task," Sept. 30, 2003.
• "Preventing Harassment in the Workplace," Oct. 7, 2003.

All sessions will be held from 8:30 a.m. to noon at HR Works’ second-floor training facility, 345 Woodcliff Drive, Fairport. The cost is $95 per person per session.

Participants are encouraged to attend all five sessions for maximum benefit; however, attendees may choose fewer sessions. Early signup is encouraged, as the sessions are expected to sell out quickly.
