Strategic Human Resource Leadership
Introduction:
As business increasingly recognises the critical role of its people in delivering their strategic goals, HR and its activities become pivotal as strategic differentiators.
This four day programme has been developed specifically to address the changing role of HR in modern business organisations and to provide a structured but flexible approach to examining and developing HR’s role in leading the organisation forward to achieve its strategic goals.
Aim and Objectives:
The Aim of the programme is to add value to participants’ organisations by enabling them to grow their HR role as a strategic contributor to their organisations.
The Programme Objectives seek to ensure that by the close on Day 4, each participant will have
Extended their knowledge of HR best practice
Shared with and learned from the experiences of
other participating managers
Had the opportunity to address their company’s key strategic HR issues
Produced an action plan to ensure that they and their organisations display all necessary features of HR best practice
Approach and Style:
The programme will use a combination of input on best global best practice, case studies, breakout exploration exercises and An ongoing mini project. The latter will invite participants to identify a key strategic HR issue facing their organisation and, working in small teams, address the issue to produce recommendations for action.
Each participant will have the opportunity to relate their own level of competences to those required of world class HR practitioners.
Each participant has the opportunity for contact with the programme leader before the final balance of the programme is produced, to identify specific areas of interest and need for them
The programme leader’s approach is stimulating, participative and based upon substantial experience in many business sectors in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the United States
