<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>

		<h3>Description</h3>
		<p></p><h4>Today's workforce demands a lot from leaders: to be purpose-driven, authentic, inclusive, visionary yet humble; to create a space of psychological safety for their people and to show up without the armour of hierarchy. These demands can create a significant emotional load on leaders who are facing into a tide of consumer and shareholder activism, disruptive change to business practices and endless cost focus. Now is the time to understand that working on our personal resilience is not a sign of weakness, but of strength.</h4>
<h4>Join this course to engage with other leaders in learning resilience habits that make a difference now and can serve you for a lifetime.</h4>
<p> </p>

Meet your trainer:
Hi, I’m Gemma Perella; a Personal Development Trainer and founder of The Self Leadership Initiative. The SLI is all about helping you to develop young leaders.

As a teenager in 2006 I stumbled across a leadership training programme that changed my life. I went from an introverted outsider to a confident and driven educator. Ever since, my mission has been inspiring and empowering young people to become the best versions of themselves.

Over the last 10 years I've been working with organisations that support young people. I deliver interactive and practical training programmes to equip students with the kinds of skills ‘they don’t teach you in school’ in order to help them become the confident, resilient and emotionally intelligent leaders that the world needs.
