2 Contemporary HR practitioners require a complex mix of technical, commercial and interpersonal skills.

How we can help you The is a approach to developing the relevant technical and interpersonal skills in a joined-up way. The goal is to develop practitioners who are recognised as technical s, confident in managing challenging stakeholders, with a clear and up-to-date understanding of the talent management environment and the industry in which they work.

Our approach The programme is modular, and bespoke to your requirements. As such, you can choose from a selection of modules to best meet the development needs of your HR team. We begin with participants completing our personality and competency-based 360 feedback questionnaires, which helps accurately capture a baseline of key behaviours. Each participant then has a one-to-one development needs analysis session with one of our consultants. You can then choose from the technical and professional skills modules on the next page. Each programme ends with a repeat of the 360 feedback process to help measure success and individual and group level examination of competence acquisition and behavioural change. This can then inform a more detailed return on investment (ROI) calculation. A final one-to-one session with one of our consultants also enables participants to understand how they have developed and identify tangible next steps on their ongoing development journey. 1

We designed the nine-day programme around the needs of the participants, incorporating our assessments as pre and post measures of behavioural change. The programme featured five modules which equipped the participants with best practice knowledge and skills. The development programme not only reinvigorated our team and made them more effective, it raised the bar by recalibrating what it means to be a professional recruiter in our division.
