Cairo, Egypt, December 16, 2008 - To mark the official inauguration of the newest office of Morgan International in Egypt, we are delighted to offer professionals an essential workshop the likes of which has never been experienced before in the region.  Morgan international, in partnership with The Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM), is spearheading the first SHRM Essentials Workshop Tour in the Middle East, and Cairo is one of its stopovers on February 1-2, 2009.

The SHRM Essentials of Human Resource Management Certificate Program is an introductory course offering a comprehensive overview of the human resource function.  The course covers today's most vital and appropriate topics, including employment law, selecting qualified employees, compensation, orientation and training, and the employee performance process. 

Mr. Sam Bresler, Ph.D., SPHR-CA, a SHRM Learning System course instructor with more than 30 years of experience as a practitioner and leader in both Assessment and Human Resource Management, will be presenting the two-day SHRM Essentials workshop in four major gulf cities: Doha, Manama, Cairo and Abu Dhabi.

"The success of the SHRM Essential's Middle East Tour and the burgeoning demand for HR Training in the region has driven Morgan to launch the workshop for the first time in Cairo.  We look forward to welcoming HR practitioners to this event and setting a platform for networking with leading organizations and the region's HR community," says Shadi Abi Nader, Morgan's Business Development Manager. 

The SHRM Essentials course is specifically designed to challenge candidates and empower them with the skills they need to confidently face today's complex HR situations and compliance issues within their organization.  Candidates will participate in interactive case study activities designed to practice real-life HR situations in a non-threatening atmosphere.    

The program is primarily designed for new and junior HR practitioners, but professionals in managerial positions can benefit from the broad spectrum of topics covered.  These include: Human Resource Management (gain a clear understanding of the HR function); Employment Law (enhance the ability to apply key HR legislation); Recruitment and Selection (gain important skills for selecting employees); Compensation and Benefits (learn the key elements of a total compensation system); Employee Development (gain an understanding of orientation, development and training); and Performance Management (discover the purpose and process for performance appraisals).
