Project Management for Human Resources will be Held on 21–23 October, 2020

ComplianceOnline.com, the largest GRC Advisory Network, has included a New 3-Day Certification Program on Project Management for Human Resources to its offerings. The virtual program will be held between 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM EDT on October 21-23, 2020.

HR Managers are asked to juggle a wide variety of assignments and add on special ones as needed. In many companies, the people, who formerly performed specialized tasks, are gone, along with their expertise. The work still needs to be done and HR Managers are called on to take on this work as a “project.” Most HR folks are not trained as project managers and may struggle with getting everything done effectively and efficiently.

The basics of project management are universal and many of the “tools” are easy to use. During the disruption caused by COVID-19, additional challenges face HR professionals as they manage special assignments. This program will help apply fundamental project management approaches to tackle special assignments and integrate work into a large project.

In this practical seminar, attendees will learn to plan, execute, and manage projects to get desired results on time, on budget, on target; prevent scope creep, stop firefighting, and put effort into solving the problem; define potential risks and develop contingency plans; use simple tools to manage projects of any size; and provide stakeholders with the results they expect. The program is highly interactive, with many workshops, activities, and a Case Study.
