Geelong HR Professional Development Training & Events.
To accommodate Geelong’s appetite for HR intelligence, Harvest’s HR & People Solutions has an exciting new program for 2022.
Harvest launched in Geelong as a specialist/executive recruitment agency over 10 years’ ago however we didn’t want to be another “agency”. In 2016, to provide an opportunity for the region’s HR Community to share ideas and gain insight we launched the Geelong HR Roundtable. Fast forward five years and the Geelong HR Roundtable is very often oversubscribed. So, Harvest created the Geelong HR Nexus, a membership based platform where your seat (or that of an organisation delegate) is guaranteed.
Additionally, we have leveraged those topics most in demand into professional development programs ranging from half-day workshops to six month programs – especially in areas where skills are gained and learning is gleaned over time.
Also, every organisation will be able to access our consultants who are subject matter experts in their field through onsite PD, mentoring, coaching and facilitation, accredited workshops and HR “on-demand” project work.
You asked for it!
Our audience has shown greatest interest in six pillars which we will use as our “footprint” for our HR events and consulting services during 2022.
The Six Pillars
1. HR Strategy
Many HR Executives are drawn into daily operational requirements and struggle to take the time to consider strategy. Many also seek out the company of their peers to discuss key areas of strategy. To allow HR Executives time for peer networking and strategic thinking and discussion, Harvest has added HR strategy to its offering.
2. Organisational Design, Workforce Planning and Talent Management
If you are addressing “workforces of the future”, workforce capability and capability frameworks, prospective future gaps or purely seek support in Talent Management, Harvest has a team of qualified consultants to assist.
3. Compliance and Employee Relations
Employing and managing staff is becoming increasingly complex and organisations large and small must be HR compliant. At the ground level, Harvest’s offerings allow you to gain an understanding of the essentials of HR compliance or learn how to manage employees in difficult situations; ensure you are covered with regards to Fair Work obligations and when to mediate or investigate on workplace grievances/complaints.
4. Leadership
In 2020 when many workplaces and workforces became disseminated leadership took on a new dimension with many organisations reporting their leaders needed to have more touch points with their staff. The 2020 Geelong HR Index survey revealed 33% of workplaces were challenged with employee engagement amidst the crisis and almost half of those surveyed are addressing capabilities across the organisation as a key initiative as we emerge from the pandemic. Harvest’s Future of Work and Leadership program addresses building leadership capabilities.
5. Mental Health and Mental Wellbeing
To accommodate the growing need for support in this area we have created a mental health and well-being program to provide business owners, employers and employees strategies, tools and resources to best manage their and their team members’ mental health and wellbeing. A sample program can be found on page 11. All can be codesigned with you according to your need.
An accredited Mental Health First Aid Training workshop is also offered
6. Culture, EVP and the Future of Work
Today employers are addressing change and transformation; to be efficient and responsive to the changes in landscape, to take advantage of technology and to be more responsive to customers’ needs. Because of this, organisations are looking at how they can change and how they can bring their employees along on the journey.
The event calendar is laid out for 2022 in the HR & People Solutions Prospectus to allow bookings in advance so those that want to be at the table, don’t miss out on our events.
