The NBOA Human Resources Institute (HRI) equips independent school professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively manage people operations in an independent school environment. This four-day, immersive experience provides foundational guidance on the regulations and compliance issues most relevant to independent schools, as well as essential components of strategic HR leadership and emerging trends. Expand your understanding of HR administration, learn the latest in compensation, benefits and employment practices, and keep up with regulatory changes. You’ll also be prepared to mitigate risk while respecting the culture that makes your school special.
HRI is for professionals with responsibilities in or oversight for HR in independent schools. Attendees may include human resources directors, business officers who oversee the HR function, and those aspiring to become the HR director at an independent school.
NBOA’s in-house subject matter experts, partners in the legal field, and a small faculty of experienced independent school HR professionals will lead more than a dozen informational sessions, interspersed with facilitated discussions on topics such as cultural alignment and process implementation. Session topics include:
Additional materials will be provided before and after the Institute for self-study. These may include recorded lessons, written resources and more to enhance your learning related to critical independent school HR issues. Learn how to use industry-specific tools and implement best practices while confidently and efficiently administering day-to-day HR functions and supporting larger strategic goals. The program is intentionally designed for a smaller cohort to absorb intensive sessions and to develop long-term connections with a broad and diverse professional network.
