Massachusetts Municipal Human Resources will hold its annual “HR 101” boot camp on May 9 in Northampton.
The boot camp is geared toward newer municipal human resources professionals and those with a background in the private sector, but veterans in the field are also welcome for a refresher.
Program features
• Paul Scott, vice president of the Unemployment Tax Management Corporation, will provide an overview of municipal unemployment benefits and claims, and the pitfalls that HR professionals should avoid.
• Ed Mitnick, executive director of Just Training Solutions, will lead a workshop on conducting workplace investigations, covering key HR roles and best practices during both internal and external investigations.
• Mary Beth Bernard, principal of HR Key Solutions and an MMHR past chair, will lead a workshop sharing tips for developing strong job descriptions, and discussing how to use them to aid recruitment, evaluation, classification and more.
• The program will conclude with a roundtable discussion series on HR best practices facilitated by veteran MMHR members.
The boot camp will run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Hotel Northampton, 36 King St. in Northampton. A light breakfast and lunch will be served.
The registration fee is $100 for members and $120 for nonmembers. The agenda and registration information will be made available at www.mma.org and emailed to MMHR members in the coming weeks.
