Bryant & Stratton College Online, a leader in online associate’s degree programs, will host a free webinar for current students enrolled in a human resources degree online or those who are interested in exploring a career in human resources. The webinar, titled “What Does an HR Department Do Exactly?” will be held on Wednesday, May 23, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. EDT. The webinar will cover the wide variety of functions conducted by a human resources department.
Bryant & Stratton College Online Instructor Andrew Beyer will lead the webinar. Mr. Beyer has over 15 years of experience in the field of human resources and has served in both the private and retail sectors.
“Human resources is an exciting, dynamic field in which professionals have the opportunity to take on many roles. The assumption is that HR professionals are in an office only to enforce dress codes, celebrate birthdays and process hiring paperwork, but they do much, much more,” said Beyer. “An HR department can impact a businesses goals and direction significantly because it is an integral part of operations. This webinar will highlight the many hats HR professionals have to wear and provide insight into the career as a whole.”
The webinar will cover topics such as: employment & recruiting, training & development, compensation, benefits, employee services, employee & community relations, personnel records, health & safety, and strategic planning. More specifically, Mr. Beyer will address HR issues like productivity enhancement, incentive pay, profit sharing, outplacement services, health & wellness and more. For current students the overview will provide a look at what to expect in a human resources career and give a general background of the field for students interested in enrolling in human resources courses online.
