PNA offers complimentary human resources service to members

PNA’s Human Resources Network is now a complimentary service to our members. Introduced as a member service in 2003, PNA members previously paid a fee based on circulation to join the HR Network.

The HR Network has been successful in training hundreds of managers and employees on and off-site in the areas of staffing, performance management, diversity, customer service and other topics. We worked with members on questions regarding employment, employee relations, compensation, benefits and employee safety and health. The HR Network has also offered the ability to provide in-depth HR help, such as working alongside members through difficult HR issues, writing employment policies and procedures, conducting employee opinion surveys and workflow studies.

We are happy to report to you that the HR Network is a part of the member services you now get from PNA, with no additional fee.

For those members who already have HR staff, in addition to the services we have provided so far, the HR Network is planning ways that will allow you to connect with other HR professionals at member newspapers. For those newspapers with managers who deal with the day-to-day HR issues without HR assistance, we hope you will think of PNA’s HR Network as a valuable resource you can call on for help anytime. We are looking forward to serving our members with the HR Network.

To find out more about this service, contact PNA’s VP of Human Resources Janet McNally at janetm@pa-news.org or (717) 703-3061.
