Program Overview

HR for Non-HR Practitioners is a two-day capability-building program designed for line managers, department heads, project managers, and senior individual contributors who make people decisions daily — but without formal HR training. The program does not aim to turn participants into HR professionals. Instead, it equips them with the knowledge, frameworks, and legal awareness needed to collaborate effectively with HR, avoid costly mistakes, and become more deliberate and strategic people leaders.

Target Participants

• Line Managers and Supervisors who manage teams directly

• Department Heads involved in hiring, appraisals, or disciplinary decisions

• Project Managers leading cross-functional or contractual teams

• Senior Individual Contributors preparing for people leadership roles

• Corporate Employees in Finance, IT, Legal, or Operations who work closely with HR

Program Objectives

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand core HR functions and how they support organizational strategy, not just compliance

• Navigate the employee lifecycle with confidence and legal awareness

• Apply HR principles and frameworks to everyday management situations

• Recognize the legal and ethical boundaries that govern people's decisions in the Philippine context

• Collaborate effectively with HR — knowing when to act, when to escalate, and when to co-create

• Give structured, behavior-based feedback and manage performance and underperformance correctly

• Handle employee relations, discipline, grievances, and sensitive disclosures using proper process

• Promote a fair, inclusive, and strategically sound workplace culture within their teams
