HRM Training For Line Managers

Course details

Line managers are central to ensuring that recommendations set out in the Report of the Task Force on the Public Service – Transforming Public Services - are achieved within organisations. Their knowledge and skills in relation to people management significantly impact on the organisation’s culture, day-to-day operations, staff performance and employee engagement. In view of the above, proactive organisations are now ensuring that their line managers have the necessary skills, knowledge and support to enable them to play an effective role in engaging with staff and securing their commitment to, and participation in, the change process and the ongoing transformation of the public service.
