Certified Employee Relations Professional

Company expectations from Employee Relations (ER) staff are increasing, and the pressure to deliver more with less implies they should be more knowledgeable than the staff in HR administration and operations functions. Taking this into consideration, this course is designed to shed light on activities that are formally and informally expected from ER units. Also, this course is a functional journey that will assist participants in exploring the skills that contribute to success.

This course ends with an assessment on the last day to obtain the certification. To increase the probability of success, the activities in the course include role plays, videos, self-assessment exercises, and questionnaires. Moreover, participants will take away templates and frameworks they can use within the system which already exists at their workplace.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Define the role of employee relations within the organization and the HR function
