Course Overview

People decide what end-of-service procedures really means by watching who gets promoted. The organisation's reputation as an employer is built or lost through the people management and development discipline. It treats this strand of people management and development as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The level assumes working familiarity with the workforce but no prior formal training in end-of-service procedures. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this part of people management and development and revise it on evidence. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better this area of people management and development is rarely technical. Progress on end-of-service procedures is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the people management and development discipline rather than to abstract argument. Participants leave with a plan for the practice within people management and development sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
