Live Online Fundamentals of HR Management Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 30, 2026 · from USD 800
People decisions affect every part of an organization, and mistakes in hiring, pay or discipline are expensive to reverse. Starting from what human resource management is and how it supports business goals, the week builds a practical grounding in each core function. You cover workforce planning, job descriptions, recruitment channels, shortlisting, interviewing, selection and structured onboarding. Employee relations sessions explain contracts of employment, workplace communication, grievance and disciplinary procedures and the basics of labour law.
Performance management topics include setting objectives, appraisals, feedback, training needs analysis and development planning. The final day covers compensation and benefits, payroll basics, leave and statutory compliance, HR records and policies, and the ethics expected of HR practitioners. Short exercises and case studies give you the chance to draft documents and work through everyday HR scenarios. New HR officers and assistants, administrators who handle staff matters, line managers and small business owners without a dedicated HR team are the people it serves. You finish with a working toolkit and the confidence to handle routine HR tasks correctly from your first day back.
