Say goodbye to the stress, pressure and frustration that come from being disorganized and rushed for time. Work smarter instead of harder with a time management system you’ll design!

Get more done in fewer hours with a time management system YOU design! The trouble with traditional time management theories, we’ve found, is that they’re one-size-fits-all. No wonder they don’t work! That’s why the heart of this radically different program is a time management plan that YOU will design for yourself —­ allowing you to build in the flexibility you need to meet work and home commitments.

9:00 AMto4:00 PM

Get a new perspective on your HR challenges and new tools for meeting them confidently and legally. Class Action lawsuits … hints of sexual harassment … regulations for interviewing and hiring. There’s no end to the legal pitfalls you face every day on the job.

Meeting that challenge requires continuing education that keeps you abreast of the latest legal changes along with the best employment practices. That is why this seminar is so important.

In one information-packed seminar, you’ll learn what you need to know to handle the legal issues and gray areas you face every day. You’ll also learn how to think like a lawyer, so you can anticipate and sidestep problems before they arise. This alone is well worth the price of the seminar.

Cost: $179.00
