In challenging times, organisations need their HR departments to lead and drive achievement of outstanding results through people, influencing the rest of the business to get on board.

This programme will give participants the insight, tools and confidence to deliver against these expectations. It is suitable for HR Managers, Business Partners, and Senior HR Advisors, or for anyone who has responsibility for HR within an SME organisation.

Learning objectives

The two-day programme is highly participative involving structured discussion and debate, practice with techniques and tools that can immediately be adapted and applied in your organisation, case studies and other practical groupwork activities.

By the end of the programme delegates will be able to:

• Develop practical approaches to improving talent management, leadership and employee engagement in your organisation.
• Review and introduce HR approaches and interventions that will really work in responding to the particular business challenges facing your organisation.
• Improve personal techniques to influence managers to manage their people better.
• Improve the take-up and impact of performance management processes.
• Apply ways of making the HR function more relevant and customer focused, and thereby achieve greater buy-in from senior management and your managers as a whole.
• Identify appropriate measures of success of HR interventions in order to win sustained buy-in and investment.
• Network and build new mutually beneficial relationships with other HR professionals facing similar challenges.
