Course Description:

People management is more than just a function of Human Resources. In fact, relying solely on HR can sometimes create a workplace that feels impersonal or disconnected. This workshop series is built for professionals who want to transform their approach to leadership—making the workplace more human, more engaging, and more productive. Through the 6-part series, you’ll identify areas to improve the organization’s culture and employee engagement, then dive into concepts of recruitment, selection, compensation and benefits, recognition and retention, and performance management.  

 

 This workshop series is ideal for: 
  • Supervisors and managers in local government or nonprofit organizations 

  • Team leaders with employee or volunteer oversight 

  • Aspiring managers preparing for future leadership roles 

  • Anyone interested in building a positive workplace culture and improving employee or volunteer engagement 

Join us for the full cohort so that you emerge with a suite of tools to take back to your organization, such as: 
  • Identified strategies for both improving your organization’s communication and engagement with employees and creating a more positive culture 

  • A job description that follows best practices 

  • Interview questions that are tailored to your job description 

  • Sample onboarding plan 

  • Improved calculations for the cost of staffing; 

  • Comparative ratio calculations for staffing to determine fair pay, manage costs, and identify pay disparities 

  • An expanded list of reward and recognition opportunities, beyond pay, that reflect differing motivations 

  • Stay interview conversation instrument 

  • Improvements for the organization’s performance management process
