It will be delivered in 3 three hour sessions 

Session 1 - Building your Strategic Roadmap & Attracting Talent (3 hours)

Session 2 - Developing & Retaining Talent (3 hours)

Session 3 - Developing your Strategic Roadmap (3 hours)

Attracting, developing and keeping the right people has become one of the toughest challenges facing SME businesses today. Rising costs, tighter margins, and stretched teams mean it’s hard to prioritise investment in people. Many SMEs don’t have the time, resources or long-term roadmap in place to build and grow a strong, engaged workforce, yet people are the key enablers of business success.
This practical, business-focused workshop will help participants step back and shape a clear, realistic People and Culture Roadmap that supports their goals, opportunities and challenges - whether that’s growth, stability, or sustainability.

What will participants gain
• Time to reflect on what’s working well and not so well.
• Practical ways to attract, develop and retain your team.
• A roadmap that links your people plans to your business goals
• Ideas, templates and tools you can adapt to suit your needs.
• Confidence to make people decisions with more intention and impact.
