HR Advisor Master Classes

There are lots of challenges being in a HR Advisor role, especially following the pandemic. You’re trying to build your HR credibility while still learning

The HR Advisors Master Classes focus on building your skills so that you can be an HR super hero in your business!  We share practical tools and techniques with you and answer your questions with real solutions. You can also complete an assignment and have personal feedback and coaching, or a Q&A session. And all for just $195.

As always with Elephant we run outcome based learning so you will leave with ideas to use back at work. Make sure you book your place today!


Master Classes to choose from

HR Advisors Master Class 1: Engaging and influencing your managers

We know managers don’t always follow the process or read what you’ve sent them. So if you want to grab their attention, engage and influence them in your HR processes, get them to read your emails, and do what you’ve asked – this session is for you! We focus on clever tools and techniques to use to influence and really get your message across and adapt your communications for the right audience. You’ll also cover understanding what style you and others are.


HR Advisors Master Class 2: Reinventing your HR policies and processes

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if managers found your HR policies and processes so engaging to read, that they want to take them to bed and read them just for the joy of it?? Okay perhaps not, but in this module you’ll learn some brilliant methods to make your policies more readable, and different ways to structure and distribute so that managers want to read them (even if not as a bedtime story).


HR Advisors Master Class 3: Using Design Thinking to deliver HR differently

Our third Master Class focuses on understanding the principles of Design Thinking work, and how you can use these out to transform how you deliver HR. You’ll hear some awesome examples of thinking out side of the box to spark what you could do differently, as well as some design thinking tools to get you thinking in a whole different way!

Skills Sessions: For larger HR teams

A skills session is great teambuilding, as well as a chance to discuss challenges and learn new skills.

If you have a large HR team, we can run any of the Master Classes just for your team.

Either as a virtual half day workshop, or a half or full day face to face workshop – this can be customised for your policies and procedures and on a date that works for you.
