Knowing how to select, recruit and retain the best people can make all the difference to how well your team performs. It also makes a difference to your performance as a manager. Honing the recruitment, onboarding and probationary process can have a positive impact on the business.
Getting it right at every stage of the process
Recruitment, onboarding and probation is more than selecting and retaining the right team members, it’s also about staying within the law and making sure the business is compliant at every stage.
While no one expects managers to be employment law experts, there are some basics that every manager needs to know and keep updated on.
Having the confidence to make strong decisions and manage the process is a key part of management. It’s why all managers should have these skills.
In this course, you will learn:
The purpose of a job description compared to job design
Learn the steps and skills required for the selection process, including shortlisting, interview methods, assessments and legal compliance
Understand how to make an offer and use references, pre-employment checks and questionnaires
How to deliver a successful induction and onboarding programme
How to actively manage probation (and why you should wait until it ends).

One-day training in our training room – a neutral space which encourages open conversation

If you want us to run the course for your business, we can have a chat about how this will work.
