<p>This unique two-day workshop programme is focused on helping HR teams achieve new levels of peak performance. It uses a framework based on the four inter-locking strands of high-performance HR: the core skills of HR, legal requirements, best practice, and organisational policies and procedures.</p>
<p>The precise content of the programme varies, according to current levels of HR performance in your organisation and any particular issues of concern, but the object is always the same: to enhance the participants' mastery of the core skills of HR, to ensure that they have an up-to-date knowledge of employment law and to facilitate a review of organisational policies and procedures to appropriate standards of best practice. This workshop-led approach is an ideal method for identifying the steps needed to bring all members of the HR team up to the same level of peak performance.</p><ul><li>UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY OF THE ROLE WITHIN HR AND IDENTIFY SPECIFIC CHALLENGES</li><li>UNDERSTAND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE HR FUNCTION AND TO ORGANISATIONAL OBJECTIVES</li><li>RECOGNISE THE ESSENTIAL CORE HR SKILLS, THEIR OWN STRENGTHS AND DEVELOPMENT AREAS</li><li>DEVELOP ASSERTIVE BEHAVIOUR</li><li>RECOGNISE THE POWER TO INFLUENCE, AND PLAN AN EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE STRATEGY</li><li>MANAGE CONFLICT CONSTRUCTIVELY</li><li>EMPLOY A STRUCTURED APPROACH WHEN COACHING OTHERS</li><li>MANAGE THEMSELVES, THEIR TIME AND THEIR MEETINGS EFFECTIVELY</li><li>USE THE CORE SKILLS OF HR FLEXIBLY IN 'DIFFICULT' OR 'SENSITIVE' SITUATIONS</li><li>COMMUNICATE MORE EFFECTIVELY IN GROUP SETTINGS AND IN 1:1 SITUATIONS</li><li>UNDERSTAND THE OVERALL LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF EMPLOYMENT LAW</li><li>APPRECIATE THE IMPORTANCE OF EMPLOYMENT STATUS</li><li>AVOID AND DEFEND CASES OF UNLAWFUL DISCRIMINATION</li><li>MANAGE SHORT- AND LONG-TERM ABSENCE LAWFULLY</li><li>ENSURE THAT THE ORGANISATION IS NOT UNNECESSARILY EXPOSED TO CLAIMS FOR UNFAIR DISMISSAL</li><li>IMPLEMENT DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES FAIRLY AND LAWFULLY</li></ul><section>
