People Strategy in a Day
Full-day workshop

Innovate Suite, Altrincham campus, Trafford & Stockport College Group
People Strategy in a Day is for SME leaders, senior managers and in-house HR who want to step back from day-to-day pressures and take a more strategic approach to how people decisions drive business performance and growth.
This full-day workshop offers the clarity, structure, and practical guidance needed to move from reactive and operational HR/people management practices to a more deliberate, commercially aligned approach.
What we’ll cover
The key elements of a commercially aligned people strategy and how they connect in practice:
- External influences shaping the future of work
- Aligning people strategy with business priorities and growth
- Defining and shaping a clear and consistent employment deal
- More effective approaches to performance
- Reward and recognition that reinforce performance and support engagement and retention
- Creating a workplace people choose to join and stay
What you’ll take away
- A clearer understanding of how the elements of a people strategy connect
- A practical framework to begin shaping your approach to people
- Greater confidence to align people decisions with business direction
- Ideas to strengthen leadership capability and team performance
Each participating business receives a follow-up one-to-one consultancy session after the workshop to support application in practice.
Together, the workshop and follow-up session offer both strategic insight and practical support to begin developing or strengthening a clear and deliberate people strategy within the business.
“Clear, practical and highly relevant to real SME business challenges. It helped us step back and think more strategically about our business and the need for a people strategy aligned to our priorities”
