Effective employee management is key to business success. Your dedicated HR adviser can help equip you with best practice resource skills to enable you to get the best out of your employees. Effective HR training and development can help reduce employee conflict, avoid legal disputes, and reduce the amount of employee related matters your business must deal with.
The People Connection delivers an array of effective training programmes for owner-managers, senior managers, and non-HR managers. These range from one-day courses in “managing absence” through to seven-day + courses covering the broader aspects of management and more specifically people management.
It goes without saying that the best performing businesses have the best leaders and managers. The best leaders and managers are the ones who can manage their most important asset, their people, in the most effective way.
The People Connection delivers a range of training programmes from one-day workshops through to broader training programmes delivered over several days.
Some examples of the programmes we have delivered.
“Effective handling of absence – How to improve your bottom line and keep the right side of the law”.
This one-day programme is aimed at owner-managers, line-managers or those aspiring to be. It focuses specifically on absence management which, if managed badly, can be very costly for businesses and can get businesses into trouble with an Employment Tribunal. The programme focuses on “going back to basics” but also looks at strategies which, if adopted correctly, can help you keep absence down or bring it down, thus keeping staff costs under control.

As you would expect, this programme is much broader and covers the main aspects of management, but with an emphasis on getting the best out of your most important asset – your employees. The programme ensures that the learner goes “back to basics” but the learner must choose a topic area, assess the current state in their business and prepare a report with recommendations for improvements. As with all our programmes this investment is designed to pay for itself.
