ADVANCED EMPLOYEE RELATIONS AND TALENT MANAGEMENT

Introduction

Company expectations from Employee Relations (ER) staff are increasing, and the pressure to deliver more with less implies they should be more knowledgeable than the staff in HR administration and operations functions. Taking this into consideration, this course is designed to shed light on activities that are formally and informally expected from ER units. Also, this course is a functional journey that will assist participants in exploring the skills that contribute to success.

    By the end of this training course, participants will be able to: 

    • Define the role of employee relations within the organization and the HR function

    • Conduct employee satisfaction surveys and interpret their results
    • Differentiate between coaching and counseling and apply both within the work environment
    • Analyze performance management data to report and advise on performance and productivity
    • Prepare exit interviews and analyze results to reduce turnover

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practices.

The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
