Human Resources

The world of Human Resources is rapidly evolving and employers now have an important role in the welfare of their employees. In terms of recruitment and selection, it is important that employers consider carrying out a thorough job analysis to determine the level of skills/technical abilities, competencies and flexibility required in order to ensure effective recruitment.

Section sponsor:

Internal influences are easier to control, predict and monitor, for example management styles or even the organisational culture. Human resource management is becoming an effective strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organisation’s most valued assets - the people working there - who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the business.

The terms ‘human resource management’ and ‘human resources’ (HR) have largely replaced the term ‘personnel management’ as a description of the processes involved in managing people in organisations. Our range of courses has been specifically developed to ensure that employers are able to manage personnel issues effectively.

Human Resources

Employment Law TM01 - 002

Implementing Effective Appraisals TM01 - 001

Equal Opportunities & Diversity TM01 - 002

This course is designed to show employers and the staff responsible for dealing with human resources the correct way to approach potential problems, whilst keeping compliance at all stages of the employment process from recruitment to retirement.

A good manager needs to be ‘in touch’ with his or her staff. One way of doing this is to run formal performance appraisals. Well prepared and conducted appraisals not only improve the essential element of communication but should also act as a key factor in staff motivation.

Equal opportunities means not discriminating against staff, suppliers and customers on the basis of race/ethnicity, gender, culture, ability/disability, sexual orientation or social status.

It covers the areas of harassment, discipline and employee relations, along with the various leave or absence entitlements. The course covers the latest legislative changes and the forthcoming changes in employment law. It allows employers to understand how to be compliant and not to fall foul of the laws surrounding this very complex subject. Date: Cost: Time:

A Practical Approach to HMRC Visits and Audits TT01 - 011 All those exporters and importers who are responsible for maintaining company records for HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) – including managers, administrators and accounts staff Benefits for those attending: All exporters and importers are responsible for their own transactions. Many traders fail to meet the legal and financial demands imposed by HMRC - often believing the freight forwarder is responsible for meeting those demands. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) require that full records are kept for all import and export transactions – failure to comply can lead to serious repercussions that can prove very costly to those who do not meet the required standards. This programme offers sound, practical advice to those attending to ensure that problems are minimised and sound, professional relationships are established and maintained with Customs and Excise.

Content: • HMRC – their roles and functions • Why do HMRC make visits? • Preparing for visits by Customs’ officers • Who should be involved? • How long do you need to keep records for HMRC? • The documents – what you have to keep – and why! • How can you stop things from going wrong?

• What are your rights? • The appeals process Date: Cost: Time: Location:

Internet Marketing

The ability of the Internet to open businesses up to new markets and sales channels is no longer in doubt. For many businesses, the company website is an essential sales tool working tirelessly 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, however many businesses still fail to take full advantage of the web because they don’t understand Internet marketing.

Internet marketing (or eMarketing) is the effective advertising and promotion of products and services online, without which websites seldom produce a good return. Whilst some companies bring in external agencies, there are a vast number of businesses wanting to train their own staff and perform their own Internet marketing. For those businesses we provide internet training courses and consulting services to enhance

their online skills and further develop their internet marketing strategies. By eliminating the technical jargon our workshops teach clearly how to create a highly profitable online division for your business. Attendees of any calibre can easily learn essential online marketing strategies and internet technology in order to remain in touch with the latest techniques in a continually evolving arena.
