The programme is based on the HRNZ competencies (derived from global HR Competency research of Professor Dave Ulrich) and examines each practical HR area within the 'HR Delivery' competency.

Topics covered in the three day programme include:

• Resourcing
• Learning and Development

• Change Management
• Organisational Development
• Legal Compliance and Employment Relations
• Remuneration and Reward

A workbook containing information and exercises is provided. The programme is informed by current research and is frequently revised and updated, most recently in 2021.
