AGOS is a consulting practice committed to preventing and mitigating the effect of loss and litigation. The AGOS organization includes attorneys and other professionals with backgrounds in human resources, insurance, training, and information technology, along with a dedicated customer support staff.
Geared for managers/supervisors and employees, the modules include such hot button topics as sexual harassment, discrimination, theft, ADA, FMLA, as well as school and state specific training topics. In addition to these topics, a new safety training program will be released in the upcoming months.

As a company, HRSentry believes in the importance for organizations of all sizes to become HR compliant through the education of their employees. These alliances provide the means for this initiative to be carried out.

The new GI Bill will cause payment rates to go up, based on college and university costs in the service members state of residence. Eligible students will also receive a monthly stipends for books and housing, up to $1,000 for each.

Beginning this spring HRSentry and Champlain College introduced an online human resource program for ongoing professional studies. HRSentry is an online service that helps manage an organization’s day-to-day human resources functions while maintaining legal compliance, improving risk management and promoting self-sufficiency for the user.

This is an ideal option for working professionals who often juggle busy jobs with family responsibilities. Adult learners find online education to be the best and most flexible way to gain knowledge and learn new skills.
The first of a series of 5-week online workshops “Managing to Ensure Equitable and Fair Treatment”, began April 7th. The second one, “Understanding Equal Opportunity Employment”, began May 12th and runs through June 13. The final workshop is the “Effects of Anti-Descrimination” will be going from June 16-July 11. Coming soon will be two additional workshops, “Performance Management” & “Employee Retention”. These courses were specifically designed to meet the needs of HRSentry subscribers and HR Professionals. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all you need is an Internet connection! The courses will feature facilitated lectures and discussions by noted human resource professionals. Real work scenarios will be integrated into each class.
