Maybe you’re contemplating how to get the best out of your workforce when all the generations want something different? What about how you attract and retain amazing candidates to work within your business? Or maybe the recent budget changes are impacting on your people practices, then this is the programme for you.
As employee experience takes centre stage with the top priorities in this arena of;
- Leader and manager development
- Organisational culture

This sets the context for the requirement for Directors to focus on building the right workplace culture to continue to grow your business in today’s competitive environment.
By attending this course, you will gain invaluable insights from industry experts into new ways of working, innovative concepts and the latest theories that can be applied instantly on returning to your own organisation. The programme will give you the essential knowledge, skills and confidence to improve your performance as a director and, in turn, the performance of the Board. Equipping directors with the knowledge and skills to understand and assess key people and culture concepts, analysis and reports, the course will provide participants with the ability to confidently evaluate the cultural position of their organisation.
The programme provides clarity and support to Directors around their role and responsibilities giving participants the ability to lead more strategically, highlighting the role of the Director of the Board in the formation, mapping and execution of their people and cultural strategy. Through reference to leading research, current examples of best practice and case studies, this course will explore how to create, develop and deliver people strategies that achieve organisational objectives and deliver real value for the organisation.
