The Effective HR Administrator

HR Administrators have a crucial role to play in helping your organisation achieve your people management strategic goals. Give them the support they need to add even more value to the wider HR team.

Given the variety of day-to-day responsibilities such as managing recruitment, employee induction and performance management, the HR Administrator post is varied, stimulating and demanding.

However, in order to maximise their impact on the organisation, they need to have a clear understanding of where their role and activities fit in the wider HR context.

We can equip your HR Administrators with the knowledge and skills that are crucial for managing the multiple challenges they face today.

Engaging, creative yet practical delivery

Our highly engaging workshops are packed with practical toolkits to take away and use. We design experiential activities to make it memorable and include plenty of practical real-life activities – case studies, exercises, real-play practices, time-logs and actors. With pre- and post-module activity to build momentum and surgery practices and discussions to keep it real you will be able to embed your learning and make an immediate impact.
