Essential HR for Line Managers | CPD-Accredited Management Development

Practical HR knowledge. Confident people management. Better workplace decisions.

Managing people involves much more than overseeing day-to-day performance. Line managers need the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to handle sensitive employee matters fairly, consistently and in accordance with good HR practice.

This CPD-accredited, one-day management development programme provides managers, supervisors and aspiring managers with essential HR knowledge and practical guidance to navigate common workplace challenges.

What you’ll learn

Throughout the day, delegates will explore six essential areas of people management:

• Data Protection & Confidentiality – Understanding managers’ responsibilities when handling employee information and maintaining confidentiality.
• Managing Absence, Wellbeing, Mental Health & Disability Awareness – Supporting employees appropriately, managing absence fairly and recognising the importance of reasonable adjustments.
• Effective Performance Management – Setting clear expectations, addressing underperformance and supporting improvement.
• Conducting Workplace Investigations – Understanding the principles of fair, objective and thorough workplace investigations.
• Managing the Disciplinary Process – Following a fair, consistent and structured approach to disciplinary matters.
• Effective Grievance Management – Handling employee concerns professionally, sensitively and in line with good practice.

Who should attend?

This programme is ideal for line managers, supervisors, team leaders, newly appointed managers and aspiring managers who want to develop their confidence and competence in managing employee matters.
