Financial Literacy for HR and L&D: Enhance your Business Acumen

Designed specifically for your team of HR and L&D professionals, this workshop will effectively demystify financial jargon, metrics and reporting. Yet, through practical application and action planning for your own interventions, we will take you well beyond what you might expect from a tried-and-tested ‘Finance for non-financial managers’ programme.

Our specialism is helping HR and L&D people excel in their roles. We understand that you may never have had the same training in financial statements; profit and loss accounts, balance sheets as your finance department colleagues. We also know that how you express in financial terms the rationale for, and implications of, your own HR activities is critical to your role.

What will I learn?

Typical morning session: Learning the language of finance

• Understand financial statements; profit and loss accounts, the balance sheet and many other commonly used terms and metrics
• Determine the right questions to ask your colleague in the finance department
• Build confidence when handling and presenting financial metrics

Typical afternoon session: Applying a 6 step process to justify your HR/L&D intervention

• Bring your own scenarios to the session and you will be given time and support to apply your new knowledge
• You will be able to test your skills through financial activities and case studies – all directly related to your HR and L&D
• You will leave with a detailed action plan to rationalise – in financial terms – your HR activities
