Course Overview

People decide what women's workplace empowerment really means by watching who gets promoted. Policy on the people management and development capability is judged by how it is applied in the difficult cases, not the easy ones. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the practice within people management and development among the areas with the widest performance spread. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about women's workplace empowerment under scrutiny. Plans for the people management and development capability often fail at the handover point between functions. The programme takes participants through this strand of people management and development end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for women's workplace empowerment, not for observers of it. Participants test their assumptions about this part of people management and development against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the practice within people management and development ready to put in front of a decision maker.
