Fall 2014 PHR/SPHR Study Group

The SHRMJC PHR/SPHR Certification Study Group offers class participants a comprehensive classroom experience, as well as individual advice and direction from certified instructors and study group opportunities. Class materials are provided to all participants in advance of the weekly sessions. The class will utilize the Human Resources Certification Preparation (HRCP) program which is included in your cost. SHRMJC will be offering a comprehensive PHR/SPH Certification Study Group beginning on September 15, 2014 and continuing each Monday from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM. The study group will be held at Ottawa University, Wilson Room. This site offers easy access and ample free parking. Complete directions and maps will be sent to all class participants.

This course is specifically designed to help participants prepare to pass the PHR/SPHR certification exam. The 11 week sessions offer a broad review of the human resources practice areas which are covered on the exam. The SHRMJC course is different than many other courses offered, as it not only utilizes the materials through the HRCP Program but also presented by professional Human Resources Professionals who are subject matter experts currently working in the field - and they have successfully passed the certification exam! They are very committed to preparing YOU to pass the exam as well!

Us vs. Them - Putting the Other Generations in Their Place!

You’ve probably listened to other generational speakers in the past. You’ve probably heard that for the first time in human history there are four distinct generations operating side by side, and that you’re supposed to care about all those other people who weren’t born within about five years of you. But accommodating other people’s needs and ideas is way less fun than ignoring them entirely. Seriously, how can you respect the opinions of people who wear different clothes and listen to different music than you? So get ready for a generational presentation unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Because while everyone else will encourage you to try to see where your fellow workers are coming from, Jeff Havens will encourage you to pursue your goals at the expense of everyone else’s. Life is so much easier when you don’t have to worry about accommodating other people’s opinions or being successful at things, don’t you think? In this hysterical hour of high-content entertainment, you will learn how to understand, recognize, and resolve every generational issue facing today’s modern workforce. That’s no exaggeration; by the end of Us Vs. Them, you and your employees will walk away with all of the knowledge you’ll need to address 100% of the generational issues they will face in the next 10-15 years. Because while other generational presentations focus on what people want, Us Vs. Them will tell you why everyone wants the different things that they do. It’s an important distinction, and it will make implementing new solutions easier than you ever thought possible. Oh, and more one thing. Us Vs. Them is also the funniest, most purely enjoyable generational seminar you will ever see. If you’ve seen any of Jeff’s other presentations, then you’ll know that he doesn’t really know how to do anything without making it entertaining. So get ready to laugh more and learn more than you thought was possible in a single presentation. Because improving your generational issues doesn’t have to be boring. Understand the key cultural, technological, and social changes that have conspired to create a disconnect

between team members from different generations. Walk away with several immediately applicable strategies to address and eliminate problems caused by the

disconnect mentioned above. Recognize that change occurs in different ways and at different speeds in different elements of your business,

and develop an intelligent strategy to approach change in the right way for different situations. Inspire a healthier, more robust work ethic in your younger employees (and your older ones, too). Inspire a healthier, more robust attitude toward change in your older employees (and your younger ones,

too).
