Webinars
All our classroom-based programmes can be run as webinars instead. We’ve been running webinars on a regular basis for years now, for both UK and international audiences. We know how to make them work!
We take an approach to webinars that places the learning experience at the heart of our design. No longer the poor-relation of classroom learning, webinar sessions allow participants the opportunity through discussion, break-out sessions, practical role-plays and peer or facilitator feedback to experience a unique, targeted development intervention.
Session formats and duration are flexible, depending on the topic and client preferences.
Most sessions come with downloadable resources.
Sessions can be tailored to your precise requirements (including bespoke scenarios and incorporating reference to your internal policies and processes).
We recommend maximum group sizes of 12. If possible, we also recommend using Zoom as the webinar platform.

Recruitment interviewing and selection
- Webinar 1 focuses on best practice and minimising risk.
- Webinar 2 focuses in more depth on the interview stage and building skills for face-to-face and virtual interviewing.
- Webinar 3 provides an opportunity for participants to gain experience conducting mock interviews, with actors taking the role of candidates for the exercises in the final session.
A thoroughly practical programme, each session runs for two hours (with breaks).
Getting your head around redundancy
Redundancy affects people differently. Naturally – it depends on the things that make us unique, our circumstances, experiences, personalities, career stages, our whole approach to life and work. For some of us work is a means to an end, for others it underpins our whole identity and self-esteem. For some it’s a threat, for others it’s an opportunity.
So, when we face redundancy we react differently. And the first thing we need to deal with is that reaction. We need to ‘get our head around it’. This participative virtual classroom session is designed to help you do just that.
Right-sizing and restructuring post Covid-19
This interactive ninety-minute webinar aims to help HR professionals and senior managers through the key steps necessary to business recovery, so that they can restructure their organisations post Covid-19 whilst ensuring that plans are in line with employment law, practical and fair.
Managing ill-health and absence
The first webinar focuses on equipping the fundamentals of managing sickness and ill-health.
The second webinar gives an opportunity to apply the learning from the first webinar to a series of case studies on a range of challenging issues, as well as showing progression through the informal and formal stages of managing sickness. There is an option to extend the webinar to allow participants to prepare and conduct a return to work interview or review meeting in small groups.
Virtual interviews
But how do we adapt to it?
What do we need to think about differently when interviewing someone remotely? How are the issues, the dynamics, the techniques any different?
This practical session highlights the differences, refreshes on the key skills and gives an opportunity to plan more confidently for an effective virtual interview.
Ninety minutes well spent!
Virtual performance reviews
The basic principles may be the same, but the issues and dynamics can be very different.
So you need to be able to call on a different skillset.
