Growing businesses
For many small businesses, the biggest step in their growth is when they start to employ new people. Taking on new staff means a company can take on more work and really grow the business. But managing people isn’t always easy, and there’s legislation to think of!
The GreySky People Management workshop is designed to help businesses get the most from their staff. By developing good management practices and understanding the demands of the key legislation, businesses can take this important step with confidence.
Recruitment and training
Employing the wrong person, or alternatively spending months search for “the perfect fit” can have a disastrous impact on a small business. A practical approach to recruitment can ensure an effective and realistic selection of new staff. Once people have been recruited it is important that they can quickly deliver effective business results. From understanding the business operation, to acquiring new skills, effective training programmes can ensure staff deliver their best.
Policies
Some policies may be necessary to comply with legislation, others may be needed to allow the company to work with important customers, or others may simply help everyone work together more easily. Understanding and developing policies can be an important part of developing a growing company.
Communication and performance
Effective communication within the company can be vital in ensuring everyone is working toward the same goals, and a critical element of ensuring that all staff are involved and committed. Managing staff is all about getting the best from them for the business. Practical approaches to managing performance can help the business grow and avoid unnecessary difficulties if staff performance fails to meet requirements.
Practical advice
Like other GreySky workshops, the People Management course combines practical expertise from a tutor with an extensive career in Human Resource Management with leading companies, who now runs a successful small business. The mix of technical expertise and practical entrepreneurial experience ensures that GreySky workshops are perfectly suited to the needs of growing small businesses.
