Professional Recognition and Accreditation
- This is an HR Certification Institute (HRCI) Pre-Approved Programme*
Why Choose this Course?
This intensive programme is designed to equip potential HR leaders with the insights and thinking needed to bring HR to the Boardroom and take its rightful place at a strategic level. Many HR Professionals find that their ability to progress their career within their organisations to higher management and board level is limited not by their ability and skills but by the perception that HR is not always a mainstream and strategic activity.
The ability to present convincing arguments at the highest level for investment in people in terms of training, development and associated HR activities demands professionals who are regarded as highly competent and respected for their knowledge and visible contribution to the bottom line. This ability is a critical skill for all ambitious HR professionals. The course will equip delegates with the necessary skills and confidence.
This course will feature:
- Stimulating exercises and role plays which are planned carefully to allow delegates to examine and undertake real-life situations and experiences.
- Active participation to practice and apply different skills and styles – experience which can be taken back to the workplace.
- Extensive and constructive feedback throughout the course from the tutor, from fellow delegates and from self-review.
What are the Goals?
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Appreciate the contribution of HR to the overall success of the organisation
- Appreciate the links between HR and other success critical activities
- Identify and develop critical skills needed for strategic decision-making
- Develop effective persuasive and discursive skills
- Show the HR Professional and their function as competent and respected
Who is this Course for?
This course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Human Resource or Personnel staff at middle to senior management level wishing to progress
- Senior Managers who wish to consolidate, refresh and reinforce their knowledge and skills
- Managers wishing to develop their HR thinking and understanding to work more effectively with HR specialists
- It will be ideal for candidates who are intending to move into the highest levels of management or onto a Board and therefore need to refine their management skills quickly and efficiently
How will this be Presented?
