HR for Line Managers

Recommended for:

Managers whose main specialism is not in personnel and development but who have responsibility for the management of people.

Course overview:

Line managers are increasingly being called upon to handle people management issues as part of their day to day function. If organisations are to manage risk and create opportunities they must ensure that line managers have the necessary knowledge and skills to deliver good people management and development.

This workshop has been designed to enable line managers who are non-personnel specialists, but who undertake people management responsibilities, to develop an overview of the legislative framework affecting the management of people across a variety of contexts such as recruitment and selection, performance appraisal and learning and development.

Course benefits:

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • identify the key areas of human resource management which have an impact on the bottom line
  • explain the employment process with particular emphasis on the legal pitfalls to be avoided and when to draw on specialist advice
  • create the right environment to attract and retain good people
  • apply a review procedure to improve the management of people
  • make the most effective use of your time with staff.
