“I’ve always thought that it was important to communicate more often so that applicants and existing employees can understand, “I’ve done this much. I have this much to go, and I should have an answer by this time.”
Long-time instructor and human resources (HR) program administrator Deborah Benton believes a successful HR system must look at the whole person—his or her career, compensation package, benefits, leave, education, family, and the various life stages and changes along life’s path.
