Course overview
What Is Leadership in Human Resources?
Leadership in human resources is the capacity to guide an organisation’s workforce decisions as a partner in strategy, well beyond processing contracts and records.

Theoretical insights are paired with practical case studies and exercises, so participants work on staffing plans, feedback systems and engagement questions that HR leaders in Iran face.
Whether you are an experienced HR manager refining your leadership or a newcomer building a solid base, the course helps HR professionals in Iran across recruitment, employee relations, training and development and performance management lead their teams with confidence and shape the culture their organisations grow from.
