Managing with Confidence

Managing with Confidence is a six month programme designed for new and developing managers who want to feel more assured in their role. Delivered as six half day sessions, one each month, it focuses on the real situations managers face, from recruitment and onboarding to communication, absence, performance and formal processes.

The sessions are practical and discussion led, giving managers the knowledge, structure and confidence to deal with people matters properly and consistently in the workplace.

On-site Training Delivery In Your Workplace

HR Training brought to you.

Getting your whole team trained shouldn't mean pulling everyone out of the business for a day. We deliver HR and management training directly at your workplace, working around your schedule, your team size and the way your business actually operates, rather than fitting you into a generic course built for a room full of strangers

Whether it's a single session on handling difficult conversations, sexual harassment and workplace conduct training, or a broader management development programme for a team of new supervisors, we bring it to you. No travel, no time out of the office beyond the session itself, and no cost of hiring an external venue.

Sexual Harassment Training

Delivered by legal experts.

Our sexual harassment training helps organisations prevent harassment at work through practical, tailored sessions for employees and line managers. It covers legal duties, workplace behaviour, reporting concerns and confident, lawful responses, with flexible delivery to suit different teams and working environments.

Sessions are delivered by our Senior Employment Law Advisor, bringing together practical delivery with real legal authority. That combination means your team isn't just told what good behaviour looks like, they understand the legal reasoning behind it, and how it plays out if a concern is ever raised for real.
