Course overview
What Is Leadership in Human Resources?
Leadership in human resources is the capability to lead an organisation’s people as a strategic partner rather than as a back-office function. Participants learn to align HR goals with organisational objectives, plan the workforce, recruit and retain talent, manage performance with SMART goals, build engagement and inclusion, resolve conflict and guide change, making data-driven HR decisions.
Interactive sessions, case studies and practical exercises let participants build workforce plans, rethink appraisals and act on engagement issues of the kind HR leaders in Liberia meet.
Designed for HR professionals, managers and business owners in Liberia, the course helps them lead the people side of their organisations with empathy, vision and integrity, from recruitment and onboarding to performance, engagement and inclusion, so their workforce can play its full part in the country’s development and growth.

Changing ways of working
Adaptable HR leaders help organisations in Liberia rethink how people are hired and supported.
