Calendar of Events

Presented by Kristi Spaethe, SHRM-CP, PHR

This session is designed to prepare and assist multiple groups and levels of professionals, from the newly appointed HR professional with no HR background, to the Business Owner who wears “all the hats”, to the HR professional who finds themselves in a Department of 1 role with limited previous experience in that scope. There are many aspects to Human Resources and the look and feel of those aspects can be greatly affected by the organizational view of what HR should look like. There are also tips, tricks and best practices for newly appointed professionals, whether seasoned or emerging, that can help ease the transition.
