HR has built a solid reputation for helping organizations to hire and onboard new employees, administer benefits and PTO and to be the place to go to resolve employment disputes… but is that enough in this fast-paced, very competitive and technology driven world? Is HR delivering value and executing important initiatives in a timely manner? What about the rise of data analytics, cloud computing, social media and mobile devices that HR is now expected to implement and incorporate along with their HRIS to automate employee data, benefits and PTO?
What’s needed more than ever is to lead, manage and deliver these initiatives by executing them through projects using industry best practices, structured and process oriented project management methods as well as the soft EQ people skills HR is known for. You must come to this presentation to find out how HR can enormously benefit from the rigorous use of project management processes, principles and practices. This will help take your HR career to the next level!Key takeaways from the presentation:

  • An overview of project management and how it has been used effectively as well as efficiently in the construction, engineering and IT industries
  • How the general principles of project management are transferable to any industry (recent studies indicate that the demand in other industry is growing tremendously)
  • How HR can leverage the principles and practices of project management in their specific industry domain
  • What an individual in HR can do to increase their knowledge of project management and what certifications in the industry are in demand (PMP, etc.)
  • Why integrating PM with HR will make you stand out in the HR industry and more importantly, deliver value throughout your organization!
