As Human Resources kicks off 2025 with new One Hour With HR sessions, January will begin the series by highlighting a critical component: communication.

The session will cover business communication tips on such topics as drafting emails, managing meetings with agendas and refining presentation skills, among many others.

During this workshop, supervisors will learn how to communicate clearly, concisely and with respect, as well as how to encourage an open-minded approach. There will be lessons on how to use team meetings as a tool to stay connected with one another.
