HR Professionals Don't Have What it Takes

Ascent builds capacity to improve business results in hard times

Ascent Management Consulting is plugging the gap for HR and other professionals who lack the skill sets to improve profitability in operations. For many, it will be the skill that saves their jobs.

A unique workshop Advanced Consulting Skills for HR professionals is going public for the first time in Dallas, Los Angeles, and other cities. The workshop teaches participants how to help operations in ways that matter to the business so the business can survive through the recession.

Ascent turnaround consultant Kevin Herring states it bluntly when he says most HR people think that as long as they're liked, they'll have a job. They're so removed from the marketplace that they don't understand that the company can't keep them around just because they're liked. They have to help the business make a profit.

Herring says he has met few HR people who have any idea of how to work with people in operations to improve productivity, reduce costs, or resolve quality problems beyond the typical HR world of hiring, firing, compensating, and policy making. This opens up a whole new world to most of them and gives them the ability to really make a difference he says.

Workshop participants in this HRCI certified program learn how to find internal opportunities to help the business, get approval for solutions, and succeed with improved business results. Those interested in learning more about how to participate in the workshop should access the Ascent Management Consulting web site at www.ascentmgt.com or call 520-742-7300.
