What is the HR Skills for Line Managers Course?

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.

Course Duration

This training course takes place over a two day period.

When delivered exclusively for an organisation, our manager courses are often tailored to be longer or shorter, depending on specific needs.

If you are looking for in-house courses you can enquire below to discuss your needs.

  • How will you/we measure success?
  • What do you want to start/stop happening?

Often, you will know exactly what you need for your organisation and have a course in mind - if we have a pre-designed solution that fits your need exactly then we can get straight to delivery arrangements.
