We had the opportunity to run a few courses from The HR Suite for our members: the feedback to their training has always been very positive. The workshops are clear, engaging and interactive throughout. The facilitators are friendly, professional and always available to discuss the contents of the courses and our expectations/needs. It has been evident that the team at the HR Suite has put great effort into identifying gaps, into designing relevant and useful workshops, they have been very responsive last year during the pandemic, in particular with their Business Continuity programme. They have also been adaptable to their clients’ specific requirements, in our case, the Animation industry. We are confident and happy to continue calling on to the HR suite for current and future courses needs

We have been partnering with the HR Suite for a number of years and have been extremely satisfied with this relationship. When we have needed advice it has been given in a timely and efficient manner and always reflects best HR practice. The team are very knowledgeable and also have very high standards in report writing and documentation. While we have wonderful colleagues at work there is an immense comfort knowing that we have an extra pair of hands at the end of the phone when we need it. I couldn’t recommend the HR Suite more highly.

At our staff conference recently Caroline chaired a session with 250 people and launched the consultation phase to inform the development of our People Strategy.  Given her extensive experience, Caroline could listen to feedback from the floor and get to the nub of the issue without delay to fully capture the essence of what was being shared. This session was well received by all, and was smoothly curated and directed in real-time by Caroline. I look forward to working with Caroline again on future events.

FAQ’s

What is people management?

People management is the practice of recruiting, training, developing, engaging and retaining employees by optimising their talents to support business growth. People are the heart of most companies and without effective leadership, the functionality of the company would diminish. 

A people manager’s goal is to empower employees to be the best version of themselves, which can have a huge impact on the company’s bottom line. If a team is poorly managed, this can negatively impact business and often lead to high employee turnover and burnout. A well-managed team will improve morale and optimise business opportunities.

How can I learn people management?

Several qualities make up an effective people manager. These would include integrity, communication, emotional intelligence, consciousness, and empowerment.  

While lots of skills can be gained on the job it is important to gain best-practice knowledge and skills through the likes of classroom learning or e-learning. It is important to seek feedback from a coach/mentor who can point out areas of growth.

Is people management the same as HR?

People management focuses on people’s behaviour, skill and leadership whereas human resource management focuses on the practical aspects; legal, ethical and structural.  

People management can be seen as a subcategory of HR as it includes elements of learning and development.  

Both areas are involved in the recruitment process but the role of each differs slightly. People managers guide HR outlining the competencies required for different roles and HR seeks the ideal candidate.  

People managers engage with HR regularly during probation, performance management and when identifying training needs.
