HR Rep Certification Updates
Be sure to check out the updates to the HR Rep Certification Program.  We have added new classes, updated others, added electives, and adjusted some core courses at all three levels to keep the program relevant and useful.  All new applicants will follow the new requirements.  If you are currently enrolled in any Level, contact La Sheree Mayfield, Learning Services or Kathryn Wynes, Employee Relations, to determine if the new requirements apply to you.  Regardless, we encourage you to take the new courses.  They contain valuable information for a Rep’s knowledge base and provide skills and techniques for dealing with challenging HR situations.
