Human Resources Management is becoming increasingly specialised and MEA has developed a course that addresses the needs of HR practitioners through a series of training sessions that focus on various aspects of HRM practice.

Taught by 19 different tutors with high experience in the field, this course covers topics like Social Dialogue, Corporate Social Responsibility, Discipline & Dealing with Dismissals, Managing a Diverse Workforce, Recruitment & Selection, Basics of Occupational Health & Safety, amongst others. The idea behind the development of this course was to create a space where students, most of which are HR practitioners themselves, can share the challenges and experiences of their work, and learn from experts in the field on how to apply management strategies and practices.
Successful participants will be given an Award certificate with the equivalent of 4 ECTS at MQF level 5.

Employing people is becoming increasingly challenging and requires specific knowledge about many current and emerging situations. Sourcing foreign human resources; data protection rights; social media within the workplace are amongst the many issues that are being faced by companies in their engagement with their employees, thus adding to the complexity of the employer/employee relationship.

It will consist of focused sessions during which participants will engage with the trainers to relate the contents of the lectures with their own context and experiences. This course is thus aimed at

The Malta Employers’ Association and New Horizons (Institute for Work Competencies) are collaborating whereby New Horizons (Institute for Work Competencies) is awarding an Award in Leading People at the Workplace, starting in October 2022.
Organisations today face the challenge of increasing competition coupled with increasingly demanding and knowledgeable customers. Delivering outstanding levels of customer service depends on the quality of the product produced and the competence of front line workers and the leaders who manage them. Operational pressures, coupled with scheduling and sometimes budgetary constraints, often mean that several months may pass before the critical persons in management positions receive any focused management training. In case of newly promoted persons, they are often needed to start work yesterday and again training is put on the back burner.
Aware of this reality, this programme focuses on the essential skills and competencies needed for effective leadership by line managers and supervisors at work.

The content, subjects and themes surely helped managers, leaders and supervisors to handle better the everyday tasks and duties at the place of work.
The course was presented very professionally and materials provided were easy to follow. Also, when further clarifications were required trainers were very helpful and always available.
I would tell interested applicants to do the course as early as possible in their career because certain insights can make the life of a manager easier when handling complex circumstances related to employees.
The feedback given for our work was on time and with good ideas to reflect on.
I would recommend this course to my colleagues because the content was very interesting and helpful in my daily work.
The course is well designed and Joe manages to share his knowledge in an effective manner maintaining the interest of the participants even if challenged by online teaching.
