North Bay Chapter Meeting: Don't Just 'Deal' with Change-Lead It! October 13, 2009

Companies big and small are feeling the stress of financial insecurity and reduced profits, and responding with dramatic changes, including major reductions in force.

HR personnel are coming under increasing pressure to properly handle (or train others) to handle corporate reorganizations and layoffs, and to closely monitor ongoing employment practices to try and reduce costs. Mishandling of such issues can result in a failure to achieve cost cutting goals and significant exposure to the company through lawsuits.

Learn how to lead your leaders, managers and employees through change during these tough times. This interactive session is for HR professionals responsible for managing change and/or who want to learn how to lead and manage change. Help your company navigate effectively through these tough economic times.
