Management Training Within Human Resources

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Pat Goodwin with Pat Goodwin Associates. Today we're going to discuss management training within Human Resources. When I think of that topic, I think about managers that need to have the expertise of your Human Resources Department to educate in them and inform them about, inform them about employee rights. So if you are in Management and you're required to go to training within the Human Resources Department, I would encourage you to have a very positive attitude about that to understand that as a manager, you need to understand what your employee rights are, what their benefits are, understand what might be specially offered to the employees that you may not be aware of and then if there is an issue with an employee, then you would know the proper procedure to go back and report that to the Human Resources Department. I have found within organizations that I've coached and worked with that there is sometimes a division between Management and HR. And then the most successful organizations that I worked with, there has been a partnership between between Human Resources and Management. So I would encourage you if there's any uncertainty or any friction between the Human Resources Department and Management that someone on the Senior team get involve to help everyone understand and appreciate not only the Management team, but appreciate what Human Resources does for that employee, employer and for the employees. The Human Resources Department walks a fine line. They are there to protect the Human Resource, the HR rights of the employees as well as keep the company from getting into litigation. So if you would, again, if you are encourage to go to management training within HR Department, I would encourage you to go, be very open-minded and be very supportive of the Human Resource Professionals in your company. Thank you."
