resource for human resources professionals
Portable Professional Development
PD in a Box contains everything you need to provide insightful professional development wherever you want—just find a facilitator and a space and get ready to learn.
Each module focuses on a core HR topic, and includes complete materials for 10 participants and one instructor, including: facilitator’s guide, PowerPoint presentation, participant handouts and workbooks, as well as evaluation forms, name cards and tests. For larger groups, additional participant packages are available in sets of 10. See below for a complete list of available topics.
Each module is designed to last two hours, but can be easily stretched to a half-day or full-day event with the inclusion of case studies and exercises.
This easy-to-use program is both thorough and affordable, and gives you the freedom of running your own show. You choose the date, location, facilitator and set your own program fees.

“PD in a Box has served our members well. Facilitators draw on PD in a Box’s solid content while customizing their approach to suit their own style and experience. In fact, our most effective sessions are ones where an experienced facilitator applies the PD in a Box content while relating their own experiences to bring the content to life. PD in a Box materials always contain great supporting data as well as good tools that help the learner consider the topic relative to their own professional needs. Our attendees really appreciate the ‘take home’ materials that they can reference in more detail at their convenience.”
Doris Steimle, Toronto Human Resources Professionals Association events committee |
