Trainer Profile
Bev Holloway
I understand the policy but Im not sure what to do in to this particular situation.
This, and comments like it, are those I receive when delivering this course. The delegates are keen to learn the theory but also the practical side of HR which is where my past experience as a HR Generalist comes into play.
There are a wealth of subjects covered in thetwo days and the matter could be viewed as dry. Therefore, I encourage you to join in activities, to explore case studies and relate them to your own experiences, to answer quizzes, to ask questions and most importantly discuss your views. I enjoy seeing participants light bulb moments as they gain insights into what its like to actually apply the law and policies and understand what Best Practice really means.
