Psychology for HR managers

Practical perception and action aids

This training is held in German.
Nowhere else in the company is human sensitivity as important as in HR. This is because HR managers are involved in almost all decisions and communication that are important for individual employees or entire employee groups. In this training course, you will receive basic psychological support for your practical HR work. You will sharpen your perceptive skills and learn how to react appropriately in difficult situations.
