: Although counselling is sometimes considered inappropriate or irrelevant in the workplace, many serious personnel problems might be avoided if counselling skills were used early on. H2 Counselling Skills training will enable participants to develop and use key skills appropriately and professionally in a wide range of situations, including: giving and receiving feedback; supporting colleagues through change; and dealing with poor performance.

: Increasing numbers of people have to deal with difficult relationships at work. If the issue is left un-addressed, it is likely to cause severe stress, poor performance and declining morale. This H2 training will enable participants to deal more professionally, confidently and calmly with difficult encounters at work. It will provide explanations and practice of the essential skills needed to manage potentially dangerous or damaging situations, both safely and professionally.
Delegation Skills


: This course will enable participants to achieve more at work and to empower colleagues by learning to delegate more effectively. It will help them to overcome any inhibitions about delegation, and demonstrate the benefits of delegating important and stretching tasks. It is particularly recommended for anyone required to manage, to motivate or to lead others at work, whether they are a part of the same team/department, or whether they are outside their direct line-management responsibility.
Effective Inductions


: The pressure of daily routines can often make it difficult to take the time to ensure that new members of staff are assisted in the process of becoming integrated into the organisation. For many organisations, staff induction simply involves a whistle-stop tour of the building and a few colleagues cajoled into telling them briefly what's what. Others go for information overload, or a drawn out or inconsistent process that is neither motivating nor effective. Any organisation with a good induction programme will know how valuable it is, helping people feel at home quicker, making them feel confident sooner and reducing the chance (and cost) of them leaving. This course will help participants to meet the more...
Effective Team Working

: Organisational success increasingly depends on effective teamwork. This course will provide participants with a better understanding of team dynamics and the roles and responsibilities of all team members.

It is recommended both for team members, and for team leaders.
Facilitation Skills


: Effective facilitation is an essential function of any organisation s team management. It enables team members to own and achieve strategic objectives, to make decisions and solve problems - thus maximising and sustaining productivity.

Interviewing Skills


: Interviewing techniques are often used on a daily basis. However, without sufficient knowledge or support, there are a number of common mistakes and pit-falls.
