Manager Training

The fastest easiest way to create manager training

If you provide manager training, you can essentially delegate HR to your managers by giving them the self-serve tools they need to manage and support their people.

ConnectsUs HR provides an instant but effective way to provide your managers with quality manager training.  The premium HR documents and templates are written in plain-English so they're easy to follow.  It's manager training your managers will actually read!

The tools were developed as a family of documents made specifically to create manager training. They are formatted and written consistently and connect to one another for a ready-to-assemble solution for manager training. Use what you need, as you need it.  

And it's cost effective too - which we recognize is a key consideration for small business manager training.

  • "...Easy to use and cost-effective.  ConnectsUs HR toolkits has all the tools I need for developing my HR policies and procedures, and company information."

    Matthew Eichhorst | President, Expedia CruiseShipCenters
  • I just wanted to write to say that ConnectsUs HR™ for Consultants is truly a gift. I've been searching for this type of support with other service providers with no luck. The templates and Resource Center you have created are so helpful, and provide a comprehensive menu of topics, best practices and well-written content that would have taken months to create from scratch. In most cases, my clients don't want to wait long to see results. I am very thankful to have found your product that makes me look so good!

    Thank you again!

    A new and thankful customer
