Agile > Agility in HR

Agility in HR

Course Objectives

This certification is part of the Business Agility pathway and is aimed at people who are in what most organizations call “HR,” although we encourage them to move away from thinking of people as resources. We anticipate that they are part of an organization aiming to adopt agile thinking and practices, irrespective of the industry they are in. The idea is to give participants the knowledge they need to be able to tackle the changed way of thinking and working and adjust their people engagement practices to be more humanistic and values based.

Attracting, hiring and retaining the right people
Skill gaps
Identifying skill gaps and enabling growth at the individual & team level
People needing to take responsibility for their own growth and skills development
Keeping people’s skills relevant to the changing business environment
Embracing diversity without it being tokenism
Keeping people motivated and engaged – every person is responsible for their own motivation & engagement; leadership & HR should provide prerequisites for engagement (the necessary environment, tools, models – how much relates to agile ways of working and the culture vs how much is related to the individual)
