Background
The modern world of business is changing rapidly in its attempt to gain and maintain a competitive edge. Business is operating in an environment affected by macro environmental factors ranging from Technology to Legislative issues as well as Globalisation. These factors and many others are causing business to re-evaluate itself both internally as well as externally. Structures are becoming flatter and decentralisation is taking place as organisations attempt to remain competitive, survive and grow.
The result is that excess costs and "fat" is being vigorously trimmed from the organisation. The new message is "Add" value or cease to exist" The modern HR Practitioner can no longer afford to be a "cost" centre as organisations will not easily tolerate "cost" centres in their mission to survive and prosper.
This programme not only informs the HR Practitioner of what he/she has to do to add value, it gives them the tools to add value and shows them how to apply this knowledge in their own work environment.
