HR Essentials Bitesize Series

Sarah delivering online HR & employment law training

This bitesize learning series consists of a collection of regularly scheduled public courses covering the core elements of HR & employment law.

The sessions are suitable both for current managers looking to improve and expand their skill-set, as well as aspiring managers looking to understand more about what the role will entail.

Each one focuses on a different specific area of management, and provides a toolkit of useful knowledge and practical tips you can immediately apply in your own workplace. These sessions can be seen as an introduction to a topic and the start to your own personal management development journey.

For maximum flexibility, sessions are delivered as a 2-hour online webinar by one of our management training experts. This also makes them a particularly cost-effective training solution for those with time and budget constraints.

As each session is self-contained, you’re equally free to book on all of them or just those you’d particularly like to focus on. Likewise, you can undertake them in any order, and at a pace that suits you. Since the sessions are priced per delegate, they’re ideal for individuals and small groups.

If you have larger groups that need training, we can also provide these courses as private sessions exclusive to your organisation, at dates and times that best suit you. Please get in touch with us if you’d like to discuss this option.

Already know what you want? Great, let’s get to it!

Not sure exactly what you need? No problem!

Our friendly and down-to-earth management training experts will point you in the right direction. We’d love to have an informal chat to find out more about your business and so help you identify the areas most in need of attention.

We’re not after a quick sale, we’re all about building long-term relationships. In fact, we don’t even employ any sales people. Which means that right from the start you’ll be talking directly to someone who can actually help you.

We’re ready and waiting, so just get in touch!
