Human Resource Development for Managers

On the job training: The most valuable teacher.

Sterling HR's philosophy of providing clients with practical and sustainable solutions underpins our approach to Human Resource Development. We focus on building a skill base in your business to ensure sustainable behaviour changes leading to performance gains.

We see Human Resource Development as taking two forms:

• Upskilling your HR staff or cross skilling your manages in HR practices.
• Designing and implementing organizational development/performance improvement projects

The first approach is targeted at increasing the knowledge of staff with HR responsibility and the ability to manage their human resources. The focus can be on designated HR staff or non-HR managers, or a combination of the two, depending on your requirements.

The second approach is focused and looks at improving your HR effectiveness through new and improved systems and procedures.

Tailored Learning and Development

So your HR staff need some upskilling. Or perhaps you don't see the need for an HR member of staff. Instead you want your supervisors to take responsibility for their own human resources. In either case, we can help.

Our training and development programmes are not "off the shelf" solutions. Experienced Human Resource Development professionals develop tailored programmes based on their knowledge of your organisation and industry.

Our programmes are unique because they commence with full competency and performance analysis which links to subsequent focused modules, projects and coaching.

We offer tailored learning modules on:

• HR Strategic planning
• Leadership Development
• Organisational Change for Leaders and Teams
• Resolving Conflict
• Influencing and Persuasion
• Coaching
• Negotiation Skills

Because we believe learning is a process, we follow up our modules with coaching or on-the-job training for all participants. The process concludes with a stag of evaluation and review.

1-1 Coaching sessions

We can also provide one-one-one HR coaching for the HR professionals in your organisation.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT & ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

Our consultants will analyse your organisations's cost structure and performance, in particular, your labour costs, and design interventions to improve your profitability.

Some typical areas include:

• Attendance Management Plans (absenteeism reduction)
• Performance Management
• Rightsizing/restructuring
• Identification and elimination of ineffective work practices
• Turnover reduction
• Skill audits/reallocation
• Training needs analysis
• Training measurement and evaluation
• We will work with you through the entire process, developing staff and systems to ensure a seamless transition when our involvement is finished.

We will set objectives at the commencement of the project and review performance against these objectives when concluded.
