Series Description

The HR Development Training Series is designed to strengthen the foundational human resources knowledge and supervisory practices needed to support effective, consistent, and values-aligned workplaces. This series explores key HR-related responsibilities that often shape the supervisor experience, including employment law, values-based hiring, performance management, professionalism, team motivation, documentation, coaching, and accountability.

Through practical, skill-building sessions, participants will gain tools to help them make informed decisions, communicate expectations clearly, support staff growth, and respond to common workplace challenges with fairness and consistency. This series is ideal for supervisors, managers, and emerging leaders who want to deepen their understanding of HR practices and strengthen their ability to lead teams in alignment with organizational values, legal responsibilities, and workplace culture.

Participants are encouraged to attend the full series to gain the most comprehensive learning experience; however, attendance at every session is not required. Each session is designed to stand on its own, allowing participants to register for the topics most relevant to their role and learning needs. All sessions will also be offered again in the fall.
