SUMMARY:WEBINAR: From Hiring to Termination
DESCRIPTION:Almost everything in business depends on the competency of your employees; therefore\, the people you hire are critical to your success.  Just as critical is letting go of those workers who are no longer contributing to the organization.\n\nBoth tasks can be difficult\, even tricky if you are not well prepared.  What you do not want to do is find yourself defending your practices.\n\nIn this two-hour live\, instructor lead webinar\, we will introduce participants to these basic hiring and termination concepts:\n\nHow to hire the best people possible from inside or outside of the organization to fill open positions.\nUnderstand your legal obligations when it comes to “for cause” and “not for cause” terminations.\nHow to comply with Canadian legislation in both the hiring and termination process.\nHow to identify the many forms of discriminatory hiring and termination practices.\nSome key takeaways and best practices to implement in your workplace\n\nWhile this session is part of a series\, participants are not required to attend all sessions in the series or attend in any sequence.  Each session can be attended independently.\n\nPresenter: Pamela Bragg – Sarkany Management Inc.\n\nPamela Bragg is the owner of Sarkany Management Inc.\, a Human Resources Consulting firm\, which offers a broad range of HR services.\n\nPamela has a comprehensive background in executive level human resources and holds a Masters Certificate in Strategic Human Resources & Organizational Change.\n\n\nWebinar time: 11:00am – 1:00 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST)\n\n Register Now!
