The management of the HR function of any organisation is critical to its success, but it is frequently the case that due to ‘rotation’ or restructuring, senior managers from other departments and
disciplines move to take on senior responsibilities within Human Resources without a background in the field.
This workshop delivers an excellent grounding in all of the key HR essentials and works through the whole life cycle: recruiting the right people; managing and motivating them effectively; managing training schedules and Personal Development Programmes; through to having
a system in place for identifying, developing and measuring talent. The aim of this workshop is for those new to the HR function to complete it understanding exactly what HR entails, why it is so important and how doing it well can make such a positive contribution to an organisation’s
success.
Participants will look at the various parts of HR including organisation development; resourcing; talent planning; learning and development; performance management and reward; employee engagement; employee relations, and the measures of each to determine the effectiveness, efficiency and impact of the HR function. It also considers the challenges and opportunities of managing an increasingly multi-generational workforce.

This workshop is invaluable to anyone who is new to HR and needs to understand the profession and develop their HR skills rapidly.
