Human Resources Management

Worforce Development in Human Resources Management
Are recruitment issues a significant challenge for you and your organisation?
Do you find your organisation has to do more with less?
Is increasing productivity a critical action in your business?

The College for Adult Learning understands the importance of leadership as a motivational tool for your team, CAL also understands the many aspects of Human Resources especially the need to ensure your supervisors and frontline managers have the skills, knowledge and tools they require in a hectic and changeable global environment.

The 21st Century business depends, more than ever, on its people. With a global skill shortage on the one hand and, a global economic down-turn on the other, organisations are looking to shed non-performing and even non-core staff. Yet, even in a downturn an organisation must function effectively and efficiently and a wise organisation must also prepare and position for the up-turn so that they can achieve maximum benefit.

In times like these, it is essential that organisations maintain highly functioning teams and remain an employer of choice. Innovative organisations will offer people with potential various rewards and enticements to come and stay with them while organisations with vision are also developing sophisticated succession plans that identify employees with potential and fast track them through individually tailored and personally designed professional development programs.

Now, more than ever, organisations need Human Resource Management (HRM) professionals to manage their staffing and succession planning, reward and recognition programs. 

For HRM professionals of the 21st century it is not enough to know the general principles of Human Resource Management.

HRM professionals need to understand and recognise:

• The intergenerational workforce,
• They need to understand motivation in its many facets and have an in-depth knowledge of career planning and professional guidance,
• Business competencies and needs analysis and
• The design of professional development programs that achieve business objectives

To assist and enable new entrants to HRM and those seeking to gain access to current thinking and update qualifications, the College is offering a number of professional development short courses and one-on-one coaching as well as the following specialist qualifications:

Effective training is achieved when the learning is retained resulting in improved performance hence our dedication in developing a training model that has proven results for our clients.

 How do we achieve this?

We work with you to establish your key drivers and the most critical issues facing your business today

Working in partnership with you we design a training program that will meet the needs of your staff and your business. The program is customised exclusively for your business to achieve maximum results.

The customised program will ensure that the right skills are being developed for the job outcome and context of the learner within your business constraints. It will also make sure the skills needed are delivered in the right timeframe and, in a way that is ‘right’ for your business and your people.

By utilising the unique CAL coaching model we guarantee improved staff performance in key areas such as :

• Staff motivation – change management
• People management and staff engagement
• Intergenerational workforce planning
• Communication and interpersonal skills
• Culture and diversity

We ensure that all coaching is done on the job with no disruption to your business and allowing staff to feel comfortable being in their own environment and with their own processes and people.

We have no minimum numbers and will happily work with just one person or equally a large team.

We stay connected to your business long after training has finished to ensure that what has been learned by your staff is applied day in day out to maximise your return.

As a Registered Training Organisation many of the retail programs we offer are nationally accredited and so qualify for government funding meaning that you will not have any costs associated with your staff training.
