The People Strategy programme is a specialist programme focusing on how to support businesses in developing a bespoke strategic approach for their people resource. Often generic business coaching and strategies for SMEs will focus (importantly) on finance, marketing/customers, operations etc but often does not go into the detail of how to develop a detailed HR/People Strategy, aligned to deliver the strategic aims of the business, that HR specialists are able to provide.

With the importance and focus on employees being a valuable business resource and the more engaged employees are, leading to greater productivity – this programme takes HR from what can normally be transactional/compliance activities  (issuing contracts of employment etc) or good operational HR practices (policies, handbook and training managers) to a more strategic level (developing a strategic people strategy – focused on engagement, employee experience, purpose etc) – with a focus on how this fits with wider company purpose, vision, mission, strategic aims and values.
