Are you a CEO or Managing director with staff of 20-100 and:

Your business is struggling to keep up with the complexity of people & culture issues?
Your business can’t yet invest in a full-time People and Culture expert; however, you have delegated these responsibilities to someone?
Do you want your leaders to have better skills to manage their people and culture responsibilities?
You can’t afford to lose good talent?
You’re worried about your reputation, the business’s reputation and potential litigation?

The workplace landscape is like a minefield; are you equipped to safely navigate this terrain?

Managing people and organisational culture is an essential skill required to steer organisations through the complexity of today’s workplace environment. Optimising your people resources requires; solid foundation of structure and processes, the ability to safely navigate the legal landscape, creative talent & retention strategies, and initiatives to drive employee engagement for the betterment of the business.

When building the P&C function from the ground up, twice over, I established the need to build solid a People & Culture foundation before the organisation could truly optimise its talent.

This model identifies the three key component that are essential in building a strong People & Culture foundation.

Safety

Traction

Structure

Fundamentals

Employee Engagement

Legal landscape

P&C Operations

The program is ideal for you if:

  • You’ve been given the responsibility to lead the P&C function and you don’t have a background in HR.
     

  • You’re in a standalone P&C role and you need guidance from an expert.
     

  • You’re prepared to do the work and implement new processes.
     

  • You need support and mentoring to build your confidence and knowledge as a trusted business advisor.
     

  • Your company is lacking people and culture structure and processes, and the leaders are committed to change.

The program is not ideal for you if:

  • You want the work done for you.

​​

  • You’re not prepared to embrace new ways of working.

​​​

  • You don’t see the value in building a solid P&C foundation​​​​​.
