Leadership today extends beyond traditional management. It involves guiding human capital, the engine behind delivering infrastructure projects. In today’s shifting business landscape, managers are vital not just for their project experience but also due to financial pressures and changing employment laws. As HR becomes more consultative, managers are increasingly responsible for recruitment. Hiring the right people is essential to success, and managers must clearly define roles, understand desired outcomes, and avoid bias or unrealistic expectations. The process is often complex and costly, presenting both challenges and opportunities.
This course provides managers with actionable insights and simple, cost-effective strategies to improve recruitment and selection. While aimed at hiring professionals, job applicants will also benefit. Participants will learn how to make more effective hiring decisions while avoiding common pitfalls. Note: the course does not cover employment law in depth—managers should be aware of the legal frameworks relevant to their projects and how these affect their responsibilities and policies.
