Workshops in Focus
Workinfo offers two
NEW exceptional courses
for the HR practitioner
that will ensure that
you stay ahead of the
game.
Workforce
and Succession Planning
- Do you have a
workforce and
succession plan for
your organisation?
- Do you have people
in your organization
that are
indispensable? Would
losing them create a
hole that would be
hard to fill?
- Do you have enough
skilled workers to
meet the future
requirements of your
organisation?
If not, Workinfo can
assist you by training
your Workforce and
Succession Planning
Committee so that they
can have the right
people, across the
organisation, in the
right place at the right
time. Succession
planning is an important
subset of workforce
planning and ensures
that you have the right
leadership in place at
every level of the
organisation.
Developing
a HR Business Strategy
- Can your
organisation's
internal capability
meet the
requirements of your
organisation's
business strategy?
- Have you
identified what
skills your
organisation will
require 10 years
from now?
Don't let your HR
department get left
behind by the business.
Start planning your own
HR Business Strategy
now!
In this course by
Workinfo we cover:
- A guide to
strategic human
resource planning

Robert
Ridout
The fact that there
is a positive
correlation between the
increase in employment
and an increase in
unemployed graduates,
remains puzzling to the
most astute economists.

to Save HR
|
|
Jay
Shepherd
Quick recap: The
first step in saving HR
- establishing a Talent
Department run by the
Chief Talent Officer.
The second step is to
get rid of the
nickel-and-dime stuff -
the traditional,
unimportant, uninspiring
personnel administrivia.
Step Three is just as
important: getting rid
of the knucklehead
stuff...

Letele on Leadership

|
|
Adriaan
Groenewald -
Leadership Platform
Several individuals
told me that they just
don't feel threatened by
Letele, a sign of a
person that is
comfortable with
himself. Another sign is
displaying a sense of
humour, "In life I
inject an enormous
amount of humour,
because that's who I am,
and that takes away a
lot of the stress."

Management &
Managing Human
Resources in Africa
Managing Human
Resources in Africa
This book by editors
Kamoche, Debrah, Horwitz
and Muuka, is a
refreshing new book that
boldly tackles the HR
challenges in countries
right across the African
continent, examining the
impact of contextual
factors on the
development of HR
practices in Africa.
Talent Management
The deliberate practice
of talent management
invariably leads to
success and frees people
to pursue and experience
life as a rainbow of
parallel streams with
exiting intermittent
contests, in which
talent provides the
amazing ability and
leverage to conquer any
number and variety of
life's contests. It is a
fascinating book to read
written by Danie Joubert.
