Growth through People Series. 1- or 2-day Courses Available
The success of a business depends on its people. Whether you’re a start-up, scale-up or high-growth company, knowing how to find, keep and future-proof your workforce can be a key accelerator (or barrier) for growth.
Our ‘Growth through People’ training series aims to equip business owners, MDs and HR professionals with the confidence, expertise and practical methodologies to support your company’s growth ambitions at all stages of development. From becoming a first-time employer to running volume recruitment campaigns, creating talent pipelines for succession plans or workforce planning for investment or exit, our half- or full-day courses are a great place to start.
Introduction to Recruiting and First-time Hires
Taking on an employee for the first time (or few times) is a huge responsibility and can have a big impact on your business. Getting it wrong can be time-consuming and costly, stalling your short-term growth and even deterring you from hiring again in the future.
Our half-day training course helps you create the right environment to hire, run a successful recruitment campaign and set-up the necessary infrastructure for a positive employment experience. We help you to feel confident in making the leap to become an employer and getting the right person on-board first time.

Performance Management and Hiring Salespeople
Recruiting a salesperson is a common first hire for many businesses. With the prospect of increased revenues and new customers to off-set the cost of wages and overheads, it’s seen as a low-risk way to grow your team with potentially high returns. However, great salespeople can be hard to come by – from attracting them to your business in the first place, to trusting them with your prospective customers and supporting them to hit those all-important numbers.
Our full-day training course helps you to set the scene for a successful sales recruitment process. We start by helping you scope-out your sales strategy, desired selling style and sales process, before considering your available resources (from training to CRM databases), defining the right person fit to deliver your sales goals now, as well as how to manage their performance and reward them to grow with your business for the future.
