Overview

In “HR Controlling” we combine fundamentals and practice: you get to know Goals and tasks of HR controlling, Planning and analysing personnel costs and Metrics: turnover, absence, time-to-hire, apply what you learn in exercises and receive templates and checklists for your own use.

HR, office organisation and administrative support keep companies running day to day: this is where it is decided how well new colleagues settle in, how reliably processes work and how professionally a company presents itself internally and externally. In the HR Controlling training you learn proven approaches and apply them straight away to examples from your own working environment. We work with checklists, templates, case studies and exercises in small groups. Each course lasts one day and runs online or on site. The content serves professional development and does not replace legal or tax advice.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
