Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
Some acronyms were unfamiliar to me so I googled them, but perhaps don't assume the audience knows what it means. Having the ability to email for a draft document was a great connection to the training, allowing me to jump in on evaluating and referring to the information in deciding next steps.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I was expecting some tools and resources on how to conduct an HR audit. I don't need to be told the importance of an HR audit - obviously, I understand the importance as that's why I signed up for this. I don't need to be told "what" needs to happen - I want the "how" to do things. Very disappointed in this webinar, and many others through Aurora.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
The reason that I marked the presenter with a mid-range review is because he kept clearing his throat, and he sounded very nasal. It was quite annoying. However, the information presented was great!

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I thought the way the presenter approached the issues of workplace diversity and occurrences of sexual harassment to be inappropriate. While these issues are important from a legal standpoint, managing them is also important in creating a workplace that is conducive to a employee happiness that has payoff that may be more difficult to quantify. They also failed to touch on the importance in evaluating appropriate pay for employees. This plays an important role in retention and competitiveness within the industry.
