Feedback
I have attended the training HR Essentials for People Managers with Emma. She was a fantastic teacher, giving us time to speak with different peers. Also, the contents were explained in a very dynamic way. I have left the training with ideas of books and tools to help me with her essentials from my team.
Fantastic
