Being the only administrator available to answer the phone when someone needs help or advice, as well as the only person to manage onboarding, offboarding, orientation, benefits, evaluation, disciplinary and termination processes is one of the major differences between large organizations with a Human Resources team and small organizations with one HR administrator.

Working tirelessly as the only HR person is unimaginably difficult. When pressed for time and attention, critical responsibilities can easily be missed, putting you and your organization at risk. 

HR departments toe the line between being employee champions and organizational watchdogs. At its core, HR is primarily focused on ensuring employees maintain a good working relationship with their employer. This means HR teams are often filled by altruistic individuals who have an eye for employee well-being. 

However, when teams are slimmed down-in some cases just to one person-HR can begin to tread water, to the detriment of employees. With all the other responsibilities required of HR, a department of one might need to prioritize day-to-day administration over larger, employee-focused initiatives. 

 
This webinar offers some best practices to help HR professionals nail down the necessary administrative duties of their department so they can better focus their efforts on helping employees and the organization grow.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

The HR department is a critical facet of any organization. The department is responsible for vital tasks like hiring, benefits administration, employee welfare and so much more. Yet, despite its importance, organizations often devote only a handful of people to its operation-in some cases, only one person. Whether you're new to the job or an experienced HR professional, learn about the best practices you need to work efficiently and confidently as a vital and indispensable one-person HR department.
