What is the 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.

*Rated 4.8 out of 5 by learners on Coursecheck, TSW Training has been a trusted and established training provider of choice for 56 years.

Who is this Course For?

This course has been purpose-designed for Team Leaders, Supervisors and Managers who have to perform HR duties as part of their role but have not received any training in the area.

Course was very helpful and dealt with during some challenging times due to the nature of our work and some personal issues
Lee M March 27, 2024
The training course was incredibly informative and Lynne kept everyone engaged throughout the whole 2 days by keeping the course interactive and allowing everyone to share their own experiences and ask any questions necessary – leading to some great discussions. As someone looking to develop a career in HR, rather than a line manager, I still found the course extremely helpful as it allowed me to realise what steps I need to take next.
Poppy J March 25, 2024
