HR For Practice Administrators -
Katie Tanner, PHR

About The Webinar: You didn't sign up to be an HR department, but here you are. Between hiring, performance issues, leave requests, and that one employee situation you're not sure how to handle, HR has a way of landing on the practice administrator's desk, whether you asked for it or not. This session covers the HR fundamentals every practice administrator needs to know: the employment laws that apply to your practice; how to handle employee complaints and performance problems before they become legal issues; documentation that actually protects you; and when to handle something yourself versus when to call for backup. You'll leave with practical tools you can use immediately and a clearer sense of where the landmines are. No legalese, no theory, just real answers for the people-related issues you face every day.
