A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE HR MANAGEMENT FOR SMEs TODAY

BACKGROUND

As a general statement, most SMEs do not pay sufficient attention to their human resources obligations. Consequently, HR matters only tend to get visibility when things go wrong.

It has never been more important for businesses to recruit and retain the right staff, keep them engaged and motivated to do their best work. With the right talent and development, a Company can not only beat the competition but also grow its market share.

This Workshop focuses on the essential requirements that SMEs need to address in terms of successfully and effectively managing their Human Resources. It also offers practical advice on the following:

• Overview of HR Management today
• Providing a summary of key Employment Legislation
• Developing Core HR policies and procedures (what to watch out for)
• Creating a positive and effective working environment and team culture
• Delivering practical suggestions on how to effectively manage your staff
• Dealing with problem staff, managing under performance and handling conflict

This Workshop is an alternative approach to traditional HR training. It involves several new features and is called “A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE HR MANAGEMENT FOR SMEs TODAY”. The format involves running a four-hour training course.
