Redesigning a Human Resources Performance Evaluation

As the Alzheimer Society of Alberta and NWT grows, it is important to stay up to date with the industry’s evolving human resources practices to manage our employees effectively.

Tasks include: Speaking to current employees and management to determine the needs and challenges of our organization for a performance management system.
