The Need

Organisations can suffer if their HR people act in a rather direct and rigid manner and if there is too great a concentration on rules and regulations. Businesses, in particular, need to focus their HR teams on business objectives. Putting HR to Work for Your Business should be the aim of General Management.  While policies and procedures are important, HR can work with the Business as a full and contributing partner to profitability, delivering service of the highest quality.  To help in this, Business Leaders need to be aware of The Latest Developments in HR.

The Oakwood Group are particularly well placed to work with Business Leaders on expanding the role of HR.

The Need

There is no substitute for knowledge, especially with new legislation being created either directly in the UK or the EU on what sometimes feels like a weekly basis. Employment Law has now become such a complex area that the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) offer a specific qualification in this increasingly specialist subject. It is critical that businesses, no matter what their size, keep up with relevant legislation.

In addition, the development of flatter organisations has seen the growth in teams. This has placed a greater importance on one-to-one coaching in the workplace and a movement away from classroom and "chalk and talk" training.
