Develop yourself in Agile HR and make the shift from managing human resources towards leading and supporting resourceful humans. In this fast-changing world, following agile principles enables organizations to innovate and quickly meet rapidly changing customer needs. 

Since people are an integral part of the journey towards business agility, more and more organizations are applying an agile mindset to HR and people development by realizing how critical that role is for the journey’s success.

Embarking on this journey will raise a lot of questions:

• How does a people-based strategy and operations need to change when working in a company embracing the agile value structure?

• How can HR support an agile organizational transformation?

• How can we apply agile thinking to enhance performance, accountability, and growth?

• How can we create agile-friendly structures for salaries and benefits?

• Job Roles – are they needed in the future?

• What role does employee engagement and motivation play?

• How can we acquire the “right” people to support the strategic growth of the organization?

• What are the specific skills that we need to use to run an agile transformation from a people perspective?
  

Regardless of whether you are an agile coach, a line manager or an HR professional, you will need to understand how a people-based strategy and people-based operations need to change when working in a company embracing the agile value structure: 

• How does Performance Management, Recruitment, Learning and Development, Compensation and Benefits and the way we perform Employee Engagement Surveys change?

• What are the specific skills that we need to run an agile transformation from a people perspective?

• Is there still a need for Succession Planning in the future?
  
  

Participants will gain knowledge about:

• How HR can support an agile organizational transformation: Assess the current organizational structure and design a new structure that enables business agility, maximizes communication and collaboration within and among teams and enables the flow of value.
  
  
• Goal setting and performance management in a new way: Appraise current performance management practices and identify ways of bringing Agile thinking to enhance performance, accountability and growth.

• Agile learning: Suggest ways to enable and support a learning mindset in a team, supporting the shift from a focus on deficiencies to a focus on the development of new skills and capabilities.
  
  
• Onboarding practices for agile companies: Design an onboarding experience that enables new employees to become a part of the organization rapidly and smoothly.
  
  
• Why the agile mindset is HRs responsibility: Design the talent/people elements needed to help support an Agile transition in an organization and explain how different contexts can influence the approach to be taken.
  
  
• The needed changes in the HR core function: Relate how the need for business agility affects the HR function and organization and how it impacts HR team members’ roles and behaviors.
