Strategic Human Resources Leadership

The programme focuses on balancing operational requirements with a focus on how HR can perform a much broader and impactful role in shaping the organisation so that it is not only able to respond to the immediate but prepare the organisation for future success.

Participants will explore the philosophy that HR should generate a ROI and show measurable contribution to the organisation's goals, just as any other investment would be expected to achieve.

Corporate level knowledge management and performance management strategies are also discussed, as are global, demographic and environmental factors that impinge on the sustained performance of the whole organisation.

This course is designed for:

• HR practitioners who have some power and influence to make changes in organisational practice.
• People with some experience in HR issues who are able to contribute to changes in the way their HR Department operates.
• It would also be valuable for HR practitioners who seek some personal development and are seeking to generate a new and improved status for their HR department through the realisation of measurable outcomes.

At the end of the course, participants will be better able to:

• Describe the impact that HR can have in shaping the organisation
• Select from a range of behaviours to improve their impact when dealing with others
• Focus on where improvements can be made in the relationships with key stakeholders
• Critically analyse current HR activities for their impact and effectiveness
• Implement new or improved practices

• Influencing for change
• HR of Tomorrow
• Alignment of HR to Business Plans
• HR as a Catalyst for Change
