NASHVILLE, TN., August 19, 2002 -- PureSafety, the proven leading provider of online safety, risk management and other compliance-driven corporate training, announces the addition of seven new Human Resource courses to its training course library.

The courses are both AICC and SCORM compliant and are available for use either in conjunction with PureSafety's learning management system or on another third party software or learning management system.

In announcing the courses William Grana, PureSafety's President, said: "We are excited to introduce these seven new Human Resource courses. We continue to expand our library along a focused compliance and risk management theme to meet the needs of our current and prospective customers. These new topics assist in mitigating workplace risk by raising the level of awareness amongst and giving valuable knowledge to trainees and their managers on important human resource issues."

The new Human Resource courses available now are:

Behavioral Interviewing - Because one of the best predictors of future success is past success, behaviorally based questions are purposefully designed to elicit answers from candidates about past actions and behaviors. The Behavioral Interviewing course provides a structured process to help hiring managers create the appropriate questions that will assist in selecting the most suitable candidate for a position.

Diversity - Valuing Differences (Employees) - This course is designed to train the employee on the issue of diversity and the impact of different types of people in the workplace. Trainees are taught that diversity is not just about different ethnic origins; it is about physical characteristics, cultural and intellectual backgrounds, beliefs, and the many other ways in which people are different from each other.

Diversity - Valuing Differences (Managers and Supervisors) - This program addresses diversity from a manager's point of view. This course will help managers to guide their employees to work effectively with each other in a diverse workplace.

Managing Stress for Employees - In this course, trainees learn practical ways to reduce harmful stress and to increase their resilience in the face of adverse workplace situations.

Organizational Change - In today's workplaces, managers need to learn about and understand the impact of change on employees and organizations. The key to successfully managing change is to be proactive in educating the manager and the people they direct about change and how people respond to change. In this way, managers can influence, and hopefully accelerate, their collective journey through the change process.

Team Structure and Function - Management Principles - This course is designed to help managers guide their teams more effectively. Managers are taught what teams are, how they are formed and structured, the skills the teams need to succeed and how managers can recognize when teams are healthy or in need of help. Team Structure and Function -

Teambuilding Foundations - This course is designed to help team members understand teams, how they are formed and structured, and the skills needed to be successful working on and with teams.
