HR Processes & Change Management

Course Summary

Human Resources (HR) change management is a strategic and systematic approach to navigating organisational transitions effectively. In the dynamic landscape of today's workplaces, HR professionals play a crucial role in facilitating and managing change initiatives. This process involves understanding the need for change, assessing the organisation's readiness, and implementing strategies to overcome resistance while ensuring a smooth transition.  

 

HR change management encompasses various elements, including communication strategies, stakeholder engagement, leadership involvement, and fostering a change-ready culture. It also involves identifying potential challenges, mitigating risks, and aligning the workforce with the organisational vision.   

 

By incorporating a comprehensive understanding of human behaviour, communication dynamics, and organisational culture, HR change management aims to create a positive environment that supports innovation, adaptability, and sustained success in the face of evolving business landscapes.  


During this course, you’ll learn:  

 

  • To understand strategic approaches to Human Resource Management (SHRM).  
  • To exhibit proficiency in employee procurement, hiring, and acknowledgement.  
  • To articulate effective strategies for tackling employee difficulties.  
  • To review performance management within diverse cultural settings.  
  • To create a change management model tailored to the workplace.  
  • To possess the ability to understand and navigate organisational culture.  
  • To recognize change management practices influenced by culture.

This course is designed for anyone responsible for changing processes and procedures within a HR setting. It would be most beneficial for:  

 

  • HR Professionals  
  • HR Business Partners  
  • HR Managers  
  • Change & Control Managers  
  • Data Analysts  
  • IT Managers  
  • Project Managers  

This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review videos and trainer-led presentations to understand the various change and control models and how they may directly affect an organisation. They will also view several real-world case studies to determine the best processes and practices when making a change to the HR model which may potentially affect the whole organisation.   

 

They will then work together in groups to map out and assess their current HR procedures and determine any issues or pain points which may require current or future change to enhance their effectiveness. They will apply various change models to the problems they’ve raised and come to a conclusion on the best route to take to move forward.
