CAHR18 Track Preview: Professional Development

Businesses look to HR professionals for guidance; for answers to the tough questions about managing and growing the foundation of their organization. This requires members of the HR community to be both leaders and empathetic counselors at the same time, a skill that isn’t developed overnight.

The speakers that make up the 2018 California HR Conference Professional Development track know exactly how that skill is honed – and the steps you can take to become a more effective HR leader. Developing your leadership skills offers benefits outside the workplace, too!

The CAHR18 Professional Development track will give you the opportunity to learn from experts on leadership, recertification, career advancement, and more. So whether your goals center on cultivating your company’s employees or taking your own career to the next level, these sessions can help you achieve them.
