People Management in Social Sector Organisations

Create work environments where people feel supported and teams work well together

Social Sector Organisations (SSOs) are mission-driven and often operate in dynamic contexts of resource constraints, evolving community needs and changing programme priorities. SSOs expect their teams to be committed to the mission and have the ability to adapt to their dynamic contexts. This course helps participants build key people management skills, such as understanding themselves, working well with others, enabling their teams to develop and grow, while meeting organisation and team goals. It aims to provide them clarity on navigating common team-related challenges and dilemmas and a better understanding of the ways in which formal processes and the HR function complement the work they do as people managers.
