Successful recruitment and succession planning

A one-day workshop covering the following topic headings:

Getting down to Basics
Job Specs and Person Specs
Assessment Centres
Selection Interviews
Succession Planning
Summary and Review

Square pegs for square holes – that’s the name of the game. And yet how often do we hear about people being promoted to positions which they are singularly ill-equipped to carry out?

How do we go about recruiting the right people in the first place, and then structure a career programme for them? How do we overcome the “Dead man’s shoes” syndrome, or avoid having to find someone to fill a position on the very day the incumbent leaves? Worse still, how do we overcome promotions becoming “long service medals”?

Take a day on this workshop to look at modern, effective recruitment methods and how to plan a succession programme which adds value to the whole organisation, as well as making it more likely that you will retain the best people.

Assessing, coaching and training skills

A five-day workshop covering the following topic headings:

Introduction
Training and Competence
Assessment
Coaching
Training
One to One reviews
Feedback

A full five days covering three of the key management skills – assessing a team member’s competence; coaching to maintain and improve their competence; training to enable team members to learn new skills.

Skilled managers can add huge value to their team’s performance, as well as having more effective and motivated team members through showing them a clear development programme involving all three of the skills represented on this workshop.
