The format for this webinar is different from our other free webinars. The moderator will introduce our three HR Advisors and then ask them questions for 20 minutes.
Some possible questions include:
- What are your credentials?
- What services does the Helpline provide?
- What are the most common questions the Helpline receives?
- What is the best way to reach you and get the fastest response?
Our experienced HR Advisors for this webinar will be:
