HR Skills for Line Managers Course

On the HR Skills for Line Managers training course you will develop decisive people management skills to get the best out of your teams whilst avoiding costly HR issues.

It has always been too easy for line managers to throw their HR issues over the fence to Human Resources. Managers often haven’t been equipped with the skills, knowledge and confidence to own their own team challenges.

We have worked with hundreds of managers who want to take ownership of their team’s development, and that includes managing the tougher sides of people management. This is not about taking risks but owning the problems and liaising with HR to ensure the ideal outcome is always achieved, quickly and effectively.

This two-day programme is a highly practical and action-oriented development opportunity for anyone who is expected to develop others, which will leave participants feeling more confident and excited to apply their ability to develop others more effectively.

This ensures that the training content is directly relevant to your team’s roles and responsibilities, making the learning experience more impactful and immediately applicable.

Training several employees via public courses can be both costly and logistically difficult. With TSW’s in-house training, you save on travel and accommodation expenses, and the overall cost per delegate is significantly lowered. This makes in-house training a cost-effective solution, particularly for larger groups.

TSW’s in-house training sessions are arranged to fit your schedule, minimising operational disruptions. Whether you prefer weekdays, weekends, or evening sessions, we can accommodate your needs. Conducting training at your premises ensures your team remains in a familiar environment, enhancing the learning experience and reducing downtime.

In-house training at TSW brings your team together, fostering better communication and collaboration. Employees can share experiences and build stronger working relationships. This not only boosts morale but also promotes a unified approach to problem-solving within your organisation.

Public training sessions can pose risks when discussing company-specific issues. TSW’s in-house training guarantees confidentiality, allowing your team to freely address and resolve internal challenges. This level of discretion is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge and operational integrity.

By delivering training in the workplace, TSW ensures that employees can immediately apply what they’ve learned. This immediate integration of new skills helps in retaining knowledge and enhances overall productivity.
