Presented by Deb Calvert

Ever feel like managers expect you to do the dirty work for them? That you have to be the "bad guy" because managers want to avoid difficult conversations? Are managers skirting the tough stuff and counting on you to clean up their messes?

The list of tasks that some managers expect HR to do for them is endless. Feedback. PIPs. Performance Appraisals. Documentation. Progressive Discipline. Conflict Resolution. Terminations. Exit Interviews. Interviews. Salary Negotiations.  

What are your options in this situation? You don't want to be the process police, constantly looking over managers' shoulders. On the other hand, you don't want to let managerial oversights become big, costly issues for the organization. 

Join this highly interactive workshop for tips on resetting expectations and getting managers to do their part.

Participants of this program will:

• Receive a simple tool that helps determine when HR should intervene.
• Discover 5 good reasons for managers to handle people interactions on their own.
• Learn the "magic words" that convince managers to handle situations early and effectively.
• Find out how to prepare managers for work that HR really shouldn't be doing.
