Live Online Human Resource (HR) Project Management Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
HR teams are increasingly asked to deliver projects, from new payroll systems and job evaluations to restructures and culture initiatives, yet many lack formal project skills. You begin with project fundamentals applied to people initiatives: defining objectives, scope, deliverables and the business case. Planning sessions cover work breakdown structures, Gantt charts, critical path, budgeting, resource allocation and risk registers for typical HR projects. Communication and coordination topics include stakeholder mapping, RACI charts, steering committees and running productive project meetings with line managers and unions.
The fourth day links project delivery with change management, covering staff communication, resistance and monitoring progress through milestones and status reports. The week ends with evaluation, closure, lessons learned and measuring benefits such as reduced time-to-hire or improved engagement scores. Working in groups, participants plan a live HR initiative from their own organization. HR managers, HR business partners, officers leading system implementations and people driving organizational change gain practical tools here. By the end you can run HR initiatives on time and on budget and to report progress in language senior management trusts.
