Course Overview
A process for employee life cycle management that managers quietly work around has already failed. The organisation's reputation as an employer is built or lost through cycle management. A common pattern is strong design of the practice within people management and development paired with weak follow-through. It is written for people who have to make employee life cycle management work with the resources they already have. Comparative studies of this part of people management and development across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about cycle management under scrutiny. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a people policy for employee life cycle management as they go. The course sets out a working method for cycle management that participants can apply the week they return. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this area of people management and development that participants can repeat annually.
