Workshop Details
There is a lot of training available on the technical, legislative parts of HR. But the more challenging part can be working in the grey areas and developing your ‘soft’ skills (although there’s nothing soft about it).
The HR Advisors Master Class covers the areas that you have to learn face to face and that aren’t regularly discussed and will give you the skills and knowledge to be an HR superstar!
As well as the content, you’ll learn from our fantastic facilitators, who all have a wealth of HR experience and were hand picked as people who will share practical tools and techniques with you and answer your questions with practical and real solutions.

What people say about our training:
“For me the whole day was useful to embed my knowledge – it was an excellent course.”
“Learning about justifications re some of the case law – good to know why a decision was made, course was awesome thank you”
“A fantastic course overall. The fact that I came away with some essential knowledge relating to fixed terms contracts and trial periods (amongst everything else!) meant I could come into work and confidently make a few changes to our IEA's the next day.”
“The seminar was interactive and although professional, was still quite a relaxed environment. The Elephant team really know their stuff and are happy to answer every little niggling question I had during the breaks.”
“I enjoyed the real life examples of what could happen, the different ways people can react and strategies to work with that”.
“Great case studies. The presenters were willing to answer questions and give examples. They involved the group and kept everyone on course.”
