Sheffield based training provider, Whyy? Change, spoke with unLTD about recently becoming an approved CIPD centre and the importance of having a qualified HR and L&D team.
Why is HR important to your business?
With Covid-19 still around, face to face meetings starting to reappear and the world starting to open up again, HR teams have played a crucial role in supporting their employees throughout the pandemic.
Whyy? Change’s CEO, Ray Byrne, identified that businesses in the South Yorkshire are screaming out for qualified people professionals, to aid those businesses looking to rebuild their company culture.
Ray says: “HR is a core function of any business and is integral to the culture, welfare and development of a successful business.”
Learning and Development focuses on helping employees to be the best version of themselves and transforming the culture of the organisation. With employees looking to develop their careers, having a qualified HR and L&D team there to support them is key to their self-development.
What are CIPD qualifications?
CIPD qualifications set the international benchmark for the people profession and provides a strong foundation to give professionals the confidence and capabilities to guide their decision-making, actions and behaviours throughout their career.
Where can you get a CIPD qualification?
