Description

This full-day action planning workshop explores common HR headaches across the employee lifecycle.

For many owners of growing businesses, hiring employees is a necessity. Arguably it’s your employees that are you biggest assets and provide you with a key competitive advantage. Just as valuable as your business name, reputation and the product or service you provide.

Managing people however is an art, as it involves well… people. In parallel there is a wealth of ever-shifting employment and case law lurking to trip up unsuspecting employers.

The legal pitfalls for employers to navigate, rapidly moving on to best practices to deliver gold standard HR and place you ahead of your competition.

We explore the most effective contracts and employment status to engage staff. How businesses build an ‘employer brand’ to win the war for talent. We look at the various alternatives to managing performance, before turning to more specific COVID-related HR challenges. These will be current and based on the roadmap out of lockdown.

This is a highly interactive workshop so expect lots of discussion and sharing of best practice, as we bring a whole new light to HR in the 21st Century. There will also be an opportunity for an HR clinic where you can discuss a current HR issue for your business, and how to resolve this.
