The programme

HR functions that cannot show their strategy driving organisational goals stay administrative, whatever their title says. This course equips HR professionals — including L&D teams — to develop and implement HR strategies that align with organisational objectives, translate them into actionable plans, and measure and communicate their impact. Participants apply analytical tools such as SWOT, PEST and PEDSTL to strategic planning, set measurable HR goals and key performance indicators, and work through talent attraction and retention, training design, performance management, compensation and benefits, turnover, budgeting and ethics. The emphasis throughout is on integrating L&D practice to build capability and continuous improvement — and on preparing the cohort to lead their organisations to sustainable competitive advantage.

What you will do

Develop an HR strategy aligned with business objectives, applying SWOT, PEST and PEDSTL to the strategic planning behind it.

Set measurable HR goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) that survive scrutiny from the executive team.

Implement strategies to attract, select and retain top talent, and manage turnover with deliberate retention strategies.

Design and deliver training and development programmes that build capability and a culture of continuous improvement.

Run performance management systems that drive productivity and engagement, and analyse compensation and benefits for competitiveness and fairness.

Align HR budgeting with strategic objectives, allocating resources where the strategy needs them.

Evaluate and communicate the impact of HR initiatives to senior management, with ethics and core values integrated into practice.
