FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why should I enroll in this online Employee Lifecycle training course?

The work of HR is centered around the workforce of the organization. This means that in order to best support your business as an HR professional, you need to be well-versed in every stage of the relationship between an employee and the organization. In other words, you need to be an expert in the Employee Lifecycle. This is especially important when you’re an HR department of one and is responsible for everything that goes on in the People function.

This online Employee Lifecycle training course is designed to help you gain the skills and competency you need to engage with your people in each stage of the cycle, from attraction to offboarding. Additionally, you will also learn about several other HR responsibilities that will affect the Employee Lifecycle, including the Policy Framework and the HR budget. By the end of this course, you will be well-prepared to support the growth of your business in your capacity as an HR Generalist.
