Chief Human Resources Officer Board
I regularly direct top managers to ICAN Institute development programs. These are the people whose management skills I particularly want to develop, and the effective improvement of their competence is guaranteed by the high quality of knowledge imparted by ICAN Institute lecturers.
The substantive scope of the trainings, their non-trivial formula and focus on finding practical solutions are, in my opinion, the greatest advantages of the programs. Thanks to them, participants are more motivated and open to new inspiration and increase the effectiveness of their work.

Izabela Jarosz
Chief People Officer
In the day-to-day work of an HR director, I care most about efficiency, and it is related to the speed and accuracy of decision-making. Therefore, for my part, I make every effort to be up to date with the most current business solutions. Thanks to them, I can supplement my own experience with proven knowledge developed by world management authorities.
I recommend ICAN Institute's development programs not only because of the high quality of knowledge. Equally valuable is the opportunity to meet specialists from other industries.

When choosing the right training for HR departments, it is important to consider the current challenges of the organization and the specifics of the position of the person you want to train. Among the many HR courses, workshops and academies available on the market, those that deal with the key functions of HR departments, including human resource management, recruitment and selection of candidates, communication and conflict management, development of HR policies and strategies, labor law or new technologies in HR work will be useful. It is important to regularly update your knowledge due to changes in legislation and emerging new trends in organizational management.
To work in HR as a manager, there are several things you need to take care of - proper education, acquiring the necessary skills and experience. It will be useful to obtain a college degree related to human resource management, business or psychology. Consider obtaining a certification, such as PHR, which confirms proper preparation for the HR role and can open the way to a career as an HR manager without a degree. You should also make sure to expand your knowledge of the legalities of hiring HR. If you are just starting out in HR, beginner training courses and internships offered by companies will be useful. Try to get positions that will allow you to learn a variety of skills, such as recruiting, employee development, HR policy, and get a good introduction to the work of an HR manager.
The HR Manager plays a key role in creating human resource strategies in line with the organization's goals and supporting employee development. The HR manager's tasks include hiring and firing employees, developing development paths for employees, identifying talent within the company, dealing with HR issues such as calculating vacations and drafting contracts, managing the compensation and benefits system and incentive programs. The HR department is also responsible for creating and updating HR policies, i.e. arrangements that define the company's stance on given issues, such as dress code, attitude and values represented by employees. In addition, the HR manager is the liaison between employees and management.
HR Manager is an abbreviation for Human Resources Manager, which we translate as "Human Resource Manager." This is the person responsible for managing the human resources department, or HR or personnel department, in an organization. The role of the HR Manager includes a range of responsibilities related to personnel management, HR strategy and the implementation of HR practices and policies.
