Can I ask questions during the webinar?
Yes. During the live webinar, you may submit questions and comments and the speaker will respond verbally. For a recorded webinar, your questions will be emailed to the speaker. You will typically receive a response from the speaker within two business days.
Can I attend using a tablet or smartphone?
Yes. You may attend a webinar using a computer, tablet or smartphone.
If I can’t attend a webinar live, can I view the recording later?

The speaker was engaging. I really liked how she tied in the SHRM competencies into her presentation.

The presenter was clear and knowledgeable about the subject. Her cadence was good, however, she said “um” and “you know” a quite a bit, and it was a little distracting. I especially liked how the presenter took the Police/Publicist HR qualities and used the SHRM Body of Knowledge to give real life examples of what I should aim to practice.
