KR HR & TRAINING NEWS ARCHIVE

We are delighted to announce that we are working in partnership with Swindon and Wiltshire Growth Hub to deliver a series of face-to-face workshops to support your business in achieving your HR goals for growth!

The following three workshops have been designed to support business owners, line managers and people new to an HR role to develop their skills and confidence in handling common people-related scenarios that directly affect your organisation’s success. Each 4-hour face-to-face session takes place at the Business Cyber Centre in Chippenham and includes a networking lunch. 

MASTERCLASS 1: HOW TO RECRUIT, INDUCTION AND RETAIN TALENTED TEAM MEMBERS

29th November 2022, 10:00am to 2:00pm

With all the hype around the “great resignation” and skills shortages, it’s easy to focus on the challenges of recruiting staff at the moment. However, if we look at this a different way, greater movement in the labour market creates opportunities for employers to attract the talent they need to take their business forwards.

Feedback from delegates who attended this session:

“Really insightful content, good to use in the workplace”

“Kathryn tailored the session to suit the attendees – excellent!”

“Thank you for delivering such an in-depth session yesterday.”

All learners who attended rated the session as 5/5 for overall training; providing useful information and answering questions; helping in growing their businesses and that the trainer was helpful, flexible and professional.

MASTERCLASS 2: HOW TO MAXIMISE YOUR TEAM’S PERFORMANCE USING FEEDBACK

24th January 2023, 10:00am to 2:00pm

Recent research by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) shows that if delivered in the right way, a culture of giving regular feedback can drive individual and team performance and increase employee engagement.

During this workshop, we will explore how, why and when to give feedback – both as part of everyday dialogue with individuals and in more formal settings such as reviews and appraisals.

MASTERCLASS 3: HOW TO REMOVE THE FEAR FROM DIFFICULT HR CONVERSATIONS

21st March 2023, 10:00am to 2:00pm, repeated on 7th June 2023, 9:30am to 1:30pm, and again on 10th Oct 2023, 9:30am – 1:30pm

How many times have you put off dealing with a potential issue because you did not feel confident with how to approach the situation? Whether it’s fear of saying the wrong thing or not wanting to “rock the boat”, inaction can often just make a problem worse, and also risks damaging morale among the wider team.

Knowing how and when to intervene early can help you to avoid bigger problems further down the line – and may often give you greater insight into how to handle a situation for the benefit of all involved.

This workshop will explore how to handle potentially tough conversations such as absences, underperformance, conflicts, grievances or change with confidence.
