INTRODUCTION

All HR Professionals need to contribute to the organisation at a strategic level and become a true strategic partner. This contemporary training course will show you how to do this and will give you the skills and knowledge to make the transition from a service provider to a strategic partner – to make sure the organisation meets stakeholder expectations.

Strategic HRM (SHRM) is about attracting, developing, rewarding, and retaining employees for the benefit of both the employees as individuals and the organisation. Thus, the goals of an HR Department should reflect and support the goals of the rest of the organisation.

HR Transformation is about driving results, and hence this training course will help delegates deliver more than just necessary administration but more on transformation efforts designed to improve HR functionality and services that will align to corporate goals and strategies like quality, productivity, internal and external customer satisfaction.
