2-Day Workshop with Kevin Empey & Joanna Koprowicz - 22nd and 23rd April 2020
AgileHR is gaining significant traction as an approach for HR and people management in meeting the rapidly changing and complex demands of today’s workforce and the new world of work. It is also seen as a fundamental skill-set for managers and HR in successfully enabling the wider organization to become more agile and adaptive.
Whether you are an HR professional, agile coach or a line manager, you need to understand how people strategy and processes need to change when working in an organization embracing an agile culture and operating model.
How do performance management, recruitment, learning and development, reward and the way we engage employees change? What are the specific skills that we need to use to develop an agile culture from a people perspective?
The programme will provide participants with fresh thinking, practices and tools for this increasingly important field in HR and people management as well as providing great insights into the changing world of work with fellow professionals and organisations on the same path.
Completion of the programme will also come with full AgileHR certification from ICAgile and will entitle course participants to the official ICP-TAL certification standard.
Participants will also receive a copy of Agile People – A Radical Approach for HR and Managers. This leading book on the origin and topic of AgileHR was authored by our colleague, Pia-Maria Thoren who is also founder of GreenBullet Agile HR and Agile People.
