Career Development in a Downturn

½ Day Workshop

 

HR are often required to hold career development discussions with staff members but in the current climate, these discussions are becoming increasingly difficult as alternative skills and tools are required to effectively facilitate and promote continuous career development.  HDA has developed an interactive workshop aimed at enabling HR staff to handle these conversations effectively, thereby providing beneficial, practical guidance for their target audience at the transactional level, whilst at the same time contributing to the ongoing development of the HR team itself – in particular the development of their own coaching, self-awareness and skills. 

 

Who Should Attend:

This session is aimed at HR professionals who would like to be better equipped at holding career review/career development type discussions with staff.  This workshop will provide HR with the tools and techniques required to facilitate discussion; promote career development; and engage and motivate staff.  In addition, the HR team themselves will be more engaged with the prospect of introducing a coaching approach to their discussions, guiding and enabling as opposed to directing staff; thereby creating a culture of career ownership amongst staff members.

 

Key Components:

CV Writing - focusing on principle questions that need to be answered, best practice and example CVs;

Interview Preparation - focusing on knowing about the interview/job, key questions individuals should ask, typical questions they may be asked, the importance of having YOUR story, tools for answering these questions;

Effective Networking & Personal Branding - why it is important? How to? Tools for effective networking, assessing and enhancing your personal brand; and

Coaching skills development - focusing on what exactly coaching is, Active listening, GROW model, Giving/receiving feedback, stakeholder analysis.

 

Workshop Pricing:

The cost for a (4Hr) workshop and preparation is £1200 + VAT & expenses.

 

Workshop Feedback:

"I feel better equipped to handle challenging conversations and have a greater understanding and awareness of the best possible approaches to navigating through these tough times" (HR Manager, Media Industry, May 2009)

Participants plan to take the following actions as a result of the workshop:

• Encourage people to think more about their personal branding;
• Use the tools provided in the workshop and apply these to real people development situations;
• Increase the use of questioning and encourage candidates to undertake self assessments when discussing career direction; and
• Avoid just 'telling' people what they can do and coach them into thinking about what it is they really want and how perhaps they feel they can get there.
