STRATEGIC HR TRAINING
Developing your HR Team's Capabilities
HR is playing an ever more important business role. The profession has done a generally brilliant, if reactive and operational job leading organisations into and through the pandemic, even if this is not always recognised. However, leading out of and beyond the pandemic is going to require smarter, more innovative approaches. We need to drive successful transformations in services and impacts, and in the private sector, competitive advantage. This means HR organisations and professionals need to upskill strategic capabilities like never before.
Developing HR Capability
There are a number of options for developing your team’s HR capabilities:
- 1 person on 1 course
- 1 person on multiple courses (Gold Membership)
- Multiple people on multiple courses (Group Gold)
- Multiple people on 1 course with a bespoke in-house study group (contact us to arrange)
- All Academy programmes can be delivered face-to- face, usually in one or two day programmes, or on Zoom/Microsoft Teams, often in a series of 90 minute sessions spread over several weeks
- Consultancy: please contact us if you require consultancy around any of the course topics
Academy courses are based on training programmes previously delivered face-to-face and received very positively over the last ten years. However, delivery is ’flipped’ to focus on discussion rather than presentation:
• Courses provide content through pre-recorded video and other materials.
• Study groups provide opportunities to reflect, learn socially, and plan application of content within your organisation. Regular Zoom calls are held during the study groups to help connect with other participants.
• Learning forums and social chat rooms provide broader learning opportunities too.
