What this is

A self-paced course on connecting what the business is trying to do to how people are hired, managed, developed and paid. It covers six stages: what a people strategy is, workforce planning, goal setting, performance conversations, developing and retaining people, and measuring whether any of it is working.

It is not legal or employment advice, which varies by country. It helps you connect business strategy to hiring, goals, performance and retention decisions in a practical way.

What you will be able to do

  • Define a people strategy linked to business goals
  • Plan workforce needs
  • Set goals that support the strategy
  • Run performance conversations fairly
  • Improve development and retention
