This training course begins the HR Essentials Certificate Series by covering safe hiring practices like background checks, interviews, and orientations. In this course, you’ll learn about pre-employment screening requirements, how to conduct successful interviews and write offer letters, and other best practices for onboarding new hires.

The second training course in the HR Essentials Certificate Series covers creating effective discrimination and harassment policies for your business. In this course, employers and HR leadership will learn how to stay compliant to anti-harassment policies, protect their organizations from legal risks, and cultivate a safe workplace for all employees.

Course three of the HR Essentials Certificate Series will help business leaders and HR employees conduct terminations with minimal legal risk. This training course teaches important skills for termination like preparing termination documentation, conducting terminations, and handling post-termination obligations.

The fourth training course of the HR Essentials Certificate Series takes an in-depth look at current employment and labor law, legislative updates, and EEOC compliance–and teaches you about common (illegal!) HR mistakes you and your HR employees need to avoid.

Learn how to attract and retain the best employees with course five of the HR Essentials Certificate Series. This training course will provide you with valuable strategies for employee recruitment, and introduce compensation and benefit options to attract and retain top talent, all while teaching you how to reduce turnover costs and keep a strong, motivated workforce.

The sixth and final training course of the HR Essentials Certificate Series covers what you really need to know about unemployment and worker’s compensation. We’ll address frequently asked questions, and delve into employer requirements, ways to reduce cost for your business, handling claims, and navigating appeals.
