Training and Development

CPD and topical workshops to keep you on top of your HR game

Todays organisations are often developing training within a budget so need to see the highest level of effectiveness on what is important not necessarily on everything.

With over 30 years experience in developing global training and coaching programmes for companies of all sizes, Shrewd HR can support all people areas of the business from the expected HR activities through to personal development (within areas such as emotional intelligence, resilience, communication etc…) and into team-based performance and leadership, as well as developing a multi-tiered approach to organisational culture development.

All programmes are based on latest research and development and delivered using innovative tools by highly accredited trainers. A level of effectiveness metric is developed to support the growth in all emotional intelligence and leadership programmes to help you see directly the ROI gained.
