WorkSmart Training Center

Work-Life Benefits’ WorkSmart Training Center includes:
75 On-Site and Web-Based Training Seminars that focus on vital work-life and workplace management issues and offer a “smorgasbord” of choices from which to pick and choose — childcare, parenting, lifestyle, and elder care — and management training, all in one place.

WorkSmart Training Center’s comprehensive seminars contain a mixture of lecture, audience participation and audio/visual components. Seminars can be conducted face to face or as “webinars.” You have the option to schedule 1 or 2 hour sessions that take place during the lunch hour, at employee training, management meetings, new hire orientations or any convenient time during the workday.
