Overview
Build your knowledge and understanding of a range of core HR activities underpinning effective HR practice with this highly practical course.
Details
HR in Practice is the essential course providing an excellent overview of human resources in practice. Its participative nature makes this an ideal opportunity for you to explore and exchange ideas and information with other participants.
This highly practical course focuses on ‘how to’, offering plenty of solid advice, sound practice and tips on where and how to get started. You’ll learn how to manage those day to day situations that arise when working in HR, and get guidance on topics such as employee relations, risk assessment, creating high performance, and doing sound HR practice.
Who is it for
This course is recommended for anyone new to HR; anyone with no formal HR training who has HR responsibilities in their organisation, or anyone contemplating a career move to HR. If time is a pressing factor for you, and you’re in need of a good overview of HR, this is the right course for you.

- review the contribution of good HR practice in achieving company objectives
- prioritise HR work or area of responsibility in your organisation
- understand and apply key principles and practices involved in recruitment and selection and employment law
- improve your overall performance and personal effectiveness in handling a range of HR issues

Before you start this course, it’s important that you consider the following questions:
- How do your personal objectives align to the course objectives?
- How will the course objectives enable you to perform better at work?
- What outcomes do you want from this course? (For example - learn new insights, find out the CIPD's view, confirm my thinking, challenge my own point of view, increase effectiveness at work etc.)
