Standard Delegate fee: £1250

As markets become more competitive, the Human Resources professional faces new and demanding challenges. Privatisation, mergers & acquisitions and trade liberalisation add new complexities to the traditional role of HR; requiring the HR professional to become a strategic partner involved in the transformation of the enterprise and contributing to company wide issues - able to initiate policy, manage change and ultimately add value to the business.

This comprehensive three day course focuses on the key issues relating to the perception, image and actuality of HR in today’s businesses. The course will enable participants to review the evolving role of HR and what this role now requires in terms of business and people competencies, focusing on how to build and negotiate new relationships with staff, line and top management and how to communicate the strategic vision of HR to internal and external stakeholders. Participants will be provided with an opportunity to review the key areas of HR activity, and learn to develop strategic approaches to make the HR function an essential partner for organisational success.
