HR knowledge sessions

Each session focuses on one HR-related topic. An HR advisor spends approximately 1.5 hours guiding interested managers through the most important aspects of this theme. Each HR knowledge session is structured as follows:

  • Essence of the topic and its relationship to strategic (HR) pillars within the university
  • Facts & Figures
  • Process design and legislation and/or regulations
  • Conversation techniques
  • Summary & Suggestions for further exploration of the subject
Training of employees

HR themed training courses

In approximately three hours, participating supervisors are taught the most important conversation skills and how to apply them in everyday practice through accessible exercises. Examples include conducting performance reviews or a conversation with an employee who is ill. What can you ask and what should you avoid asking? What is the effect of non-verbal communication? How does interaction affect the purpose of your message? These are just a few examples of the questions that are central to these themed training courses.
