Introduction to the course
This KC Academy Leadership Bootcamp for HR Professional training course is designed to equip potential HR leaders with the insights and thinking needed to bring HR to the boardroom and take its rightful place at a strategic level. Many HR professionals find that their ability to progress their career within their organisations to higher management and board level is limited not by their ability and skills but by the perception that HR is not always a mainstream and strategic activity.
The ability to present convincing arguments at the highest level for investment in people in terms of training, development and associated HR activities demands professionals who are regarded as highly competent and respected for their knowledge and visible contribution to the bottom line. This ability is a critical skill for all ambitious HR professionals. This training course will equip delegates with the necessary skills and confidence.
This Leadership Bootcamp for HR Professional training course will feature:
- Stimulating exercises and role plays which are planned carefully to allow delegates to examine and undertake real-life situations and experiences.
- Active participation to practice and apply different skills and styles – experience which can be taken back to the workplace.
- Extensive and constructive feedback throughout the course from the tutor, from fellow delegates and from self-review.
